1. Why Choose Felt Wool for Christmas Decorations?
a. Naturally Eco-Friendly
Felt wool is made from 100% sheep's wool, which is biodegradable, renewable, and free from harmful chemicals. Unlike plastic decorations, felt products do not pollute the environment and can decompose naturally over time.
b. Safe and Non-Toxic
Asterisk Nepal uses AZO-free dyes and eco-friendly processing methods, ensuring each product is safe for children, pets, and the planet.
c. Durable and Reusable
Felt is naturally strong, insulating, and long-lasting. Whether used for tree ornaments, garlands, or tabletop displays, these decorations are made to be reused year after year.
d. Visually Appealing
The texture and color retention of wool felt make it ideal for festive decor. From soft whites and deep greens to bold reds and shimmering golds, felt decorations bring visual warmth and coziness to any setting.

5. How Felt Wool Decorations Are Made
The process of creating each felt item is entirely manual and rooted in centuries-old traditions:
Wool Cleaning – Raw wool is cleaned thoroughly to remove impurities.
Dyeing – The wool is dyed in vibrant, non-toxic colors.
Felting – Wool fibers are matted using soap, water, and hand pressure to create thick felt sheets or balls.
Drying – Products are sun-dried naturally, reducing energy use.
Cutting & Stitching – Craftspeople cut and assemble decorations into final products.
Finishing Touches – Each item is inspected and packed with care.
This entire method requires minimal energy, produces zero toxic waste, and utilizes every part of the wool—ensuring nothing is wasted.
