WHAT IS MERINO WOOL?
Merino wool is a highly prized, very fine wool
which is extremely soft to the touch.
It is naturally moisture wicking and
antibacterial, meaning you can wear your slippers in all temperatures and keep
your feet fresh and dry. Due to its structure, it creates a thin layer of air
between the skin and the material, creating insulation which keeps you warm in
cold weather and cool in warm weather.
HOW TO CARE FOR MERINO WOOL PRODUCTS
To refresh your felt slippers or other merino
wool felt products, leave them in fresh air, by an open window or door. Avoid
direct sunlight.
To wash your felt slippers or other merino wool
felt products, we recommend hand wash only, in water no warmer than 86 degrees
Fahrenheit / 30 degrees centigrade. To offer them some protection, you can wash
them in the textile presentation bag in which they are delivered.
Felt products can lose their shape if you ring
them out too firmly, so after washing, leave them to drain completely, gently
blot with a towel, reshape while damp, and lay them out onto a surface to dry
completely.
IMPORTANT
Do not dry clean.
Do not bleach.
Do not leave in direct sunlight, even to dry.
ABOUT US

2022, our project "One village - one product" began
in the village of Kuryk in Kazakhstan, on the shore of the Caspian Sea. The
project employs village women, processing sheep and camel wool and making
handicrafts. We believe that this handicraft made by Kazakh women with love and
warmth will bring you joy!
