Hand-felted coaster set from India
This round felted wool coaster set is made by hand in India from natural wool. The felting craft softens the fibres in warm soapy water and binds them into a dense, lasting surface that you now hold. You get a warm, naturally textured set that keeps its shape for years and becomes more familiar with daily use.
How you can use it
The soft felt-ball discs gently protect your furniture from scratches and the heat of a steaming mug. They suit many cups, coffee and tea mugs, and small glasses. Wool felt is a natural material that tolerates warmth, cold, and daily wear, so the coasters feel at home on the coffee table, the desk, or even a meditation corner.
Natural material, handcrafted
Because every piece is made by hand, the size and shape may vary slightly from the photo. These small differences come from the wool's natural behaviour and the maker's own touch, so no two pieces are exactly alike. You receive not just an object, but a small piece of careful handwork. The mixed colours may mellow gently over time, which many people find adds to its charm.
Why wool felt
Wool felt breathes, takes on less odour than plastic alternatives, and feels soft yet stays tough. A well-kept set accompanies you for years and only needs occasional gentle cleaning. Many families bring these coasters out for seasonal table settings, since the natural material sits beautifully next to wood and candlelight.

Care
Wash by hand in lukewarm water with a gentle (preferably wool-specific) soap. Do not wring; press out the water with a soft towel and dry flat. Avoid machine washing and hot water, as felt may shrink. A soft brush now and then refreshes the surface.
