Wooled Heritage - Hand-felted Heirloom Keepsakes, made in Australia
Handmade woollen toys and decor, made in Sydney, Australia using local and New Zealand wool.
Wooled Heritage grew from a love of beautiful felted toys, natural and sustainable materials, and the little worlds that emerge through imaginative play.
I take great joy in creating every piece of this little woolen world, always experimenting and making new discoveries.
I hope that same sense of joy, wonder and discovery finds its way into every piece and, eventually, into the hands and imaginations of those who bring them home.
