Wet felt: green and ethically produced fabrics
It doesn’t sound like the most inspiring of fabrics, and yet The Wet Felting Company produces a marvellous range of cosy products made from locally-sourced Devon wool.
My particular favourite is the luxurious pairs of slippers. Each pair is handmade for the individual out of one complete piece of felt. You can design your own or use a standard design. Prices start from £11.95 for babies and £23.95 for adults (postage included).
There are also lovely, old-fashioned teacosies in wonderful chicken designs boiled egg cosies in chick guise, as well as rugs, room divider screens and mobiles to gladden any child’s heart and brighten their bedroom.
This is a wonderfully individual and quirky company making gorgeous and unique products out of an often-overlooked local resource. Well worth a look, especially if you have presents to buy!
