Felted Butterfly Ornament | Ochre

This luminous Felted Butterfly Ornament | Ochre embodies springtime's vibrant energy through its delicate wool construction, its chartreuse wings enhanced with precise white veining and subtle lilac accents that catch the light with every gentle turn. Handcrafted in Nepal by skilled artisans using premium New Zealand wool, this miniature treasure transforms ordinary spaces with its nature-inspired palette and meticulous needlework techniques. Perfect suspended from branches, nestled among spring displays, or as a thoughtful accent to wrapped gifts, this butterfly brings artisanal craftsmanship and ephemeral beauty to both seasonal celebrations and everyday moments of wonder.

Each item is handmade of 100% wool from New Zealand through the ancient technique of felt making. By adding warm soapy water to wool and then pressing and rubbing, the fibers will tighten into a felted textile material. Gradually, as the fibers are tightening together, the items are shaped into their final form - flower, heart, bird, etc. Once it is dried, it is ready for its final embellishments.
