Experiments with Felted Wool:

At Shepherd’s Dream, we are in the early stages of becoming wool felters. And WOW! - it promises to be a continuing source of inspiration for many of us here. For one thing, we all love to sleep right on it. That’s right - not even a sheet between our skin and the wooly stuff!

This photo was taken by our dear friend, Norman. He called the felted wool we made for him his "ceremonial healing blanket."

Talk about comforting - nothing we’ve ever experienced even compares! Instantly warm, and — in answer to your question " isn’t it itchy?" — absolutely not! In fact, we are holding strong to the vision of bringing felted wool everywhere we can. See details of our World Woolbed Project >>

To order a medicine felt, feel free to inquire. We are making a limited number of them. See more about medicine felts >>
