How Are Our Felt Balls Made?

Every felt ball from Felt & Yarn begins as raw wool fiber and ends as a perfectly round, densely felted sphere — shaped entirely by hand, without machines.

The Wool We Use

Our felt balls are made from 100% natural wool sourced from organic wool farms in New Zealand. New Zealand merino and crossbred wool is considered among the finest felting wool in the world — it has the right fiber diameter, crimp structure, and scale pattern to lock tightly together during the felting process, producing a firm, durable ball that holds its shape over years of use. No synthetic fibers. No blends. Just pure wool.

The Wet Felting Process

Our Nepalese artisans use the traditional wet felting method — a technique that has been practiced in Nepal for generations. Here is how each felt ball is made:

1. Fiber preparation: Raw wool is weighed, separated, and loosely shaped into a rough ball by hand.
2. Wet felting: The wool is submerged in warm soapy water. The artisan then rolls the wet fiber continuously between their palms, applying even pressure. The warm water opens the wool's scales, and the friction causes the fibers to interlock and compress — this is the felting action.
3. Shaping: As the ball firms up, the artisan adjusts pressure to ensure a perfectly round shape. This stage requires skill and experience — no two balls are identical, which is part of their handmade character.
4. Rinsing & drying: The ball is thoroughly rinsed to remove all soap, then sun-dried to retain its natural texture and color brightness.
5. Dyeing: Balls are dyed using azo-free, non-toxic dyes that are safe for children and the environment. Colors are set at high temperature to ensure they are colorfast and wash-safe.

Made in Nepal, Certified Fair Trade

All of our felt balls are handcrafted in Nepal by skilled artisans working under fair trade conditions. Felt & Yarn is GoodWeave certified and SedEx audited, ensuring ethical wages, safe working conditions, and no child labor throughout our supply chain. When you buy from us, you are directly supporting Nepalese craft communities.

Felt Ball Size Guide — Which Size Is Right for Your Project?

Not sure which size to order? Use this guide to match the right felt ball diameter to your project:

1cm Felt Balls — Jewelry & Fine Craft The smallest in our range. Ideal for earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and hair accessories. Also used as filler in mixed garlands and for fine embellishment on textile art. Their compact size makes them easy to thread and glue.

1.5cm Felt Balls — Garlands & Small Décor Accents A versatile mid-small size popular for hanging garlands, curtain tiebacks, and decorative borders. Works well for children's room décor and party bunting where you want colour without bulk.

2cm Felt Balls — The Most Popular All-Round Size Our best-selling size, and for good reason. The 2cm felt ball strikes the ideal balance between visibility and ease of use. Use them for garlands, wreaths, mobile hangers, felt ball rugs (as a starting point), table runners, and mixed craft projects. Also the go-to size for wholesale buyers stocking craft supply stores.

2.5cm Felt Balls — Rugs, Wreaths & Statement Décor A noticeable step up in size, making individual balls more prominent. Excellent for felt ball rugs where you want texture and colour to stand out clearly. Also widely used for bohemian wall hangings, wreath-making, and coaster projects.

3cm Felt Balls — Rugs, Poufs & Bold Décor At 3cm, these balls create significant visual impact. Most commonly used in felt ball rug construction, as well as stool and pouf covers, large garlands, and chunky textile wall art. A favourite with interior designers and home décor makers.

4cm Felt Balls — Large-Scale Projects & Dryer Ball Alternatives Our largest solid felt ball. Used for oversized garlands, large rug projects, decorative bowl fillers, and as standalone ornaments. The 4cm size is also popular as a natural wool dryer ball substitute in smaller loads.
