Hand-Felted with Love from Nepal

Nepalese Craftswomen Bringing Scottish Designs to Life

At Love from Nepal, every piece of felt is more than just a product—it is a story of craftsmanship, culture, and connection. In the heart of Kathmandu, a talented group of Nepalese women use the ancient art of hand felting to bring our unique designs from the Scottish Borders to life. With generations of skill and tradition passed down through their hands, they shape soft, sustainable wool into charming figures that reflect both Nepalese artistry and Scottish heritage.

Our collection includes a delightful range of handcrafted felt goods, from playful finger puppets and intricate animal figures to our much-loved Highland cows. Each item is made from 100% natural wool, sourced from New Zealand, and dyed using eco-friendly, plant-based colors. The felting process involves meticulous handwork—layering, shaping, and sculpting the wool with warm soapy water until it binds into a durable, yet soft, fabric. The result is a beautifully textured and long-lasting creation, filled with character and charm.

Beyond craftsmanship, our work is deeply rooted in ethical production and fair trade principles. The company in Nepal, run by our husband’s family, provides meaningful employment to women, empowering them with fair wages and secure jobs. These skilled artisans not only support their families but also uphold a heritage of handmade excellence.

By choosing our felt products, you are not just purchasing a beautifully handcrafted item—you are supporting sustainable practices, empowering Nepalese women, and celebrating the rich artistic traditions of two distant but connected cultures. From the Borders of Scotland to the valleys of Nepal, our creations carry the warmth of human touch and the strength of a shared story.
