About Kriti Craft Pvt. Ltd

How did we begin our Journey of Felt Manufacturer and Exporter?

My Inspiration:

We have been one of the leading manufacturers and exporters of felt handicrafts from Nepal since 2006 AD.  Sonu KC, managing director (MD) of Kriti Craft Pvt. Ltd grew up in “Orang”, a rural district in Dolakha, Nepal. Her dad was a shepherd, and they had many sheep. They used to make hand-knitted rugs from sheep wool. She watched him work when she was young.

She moved to the capital for studies and work and she had a full-time job in the busy city. But one day, she decided to quit. She wanted more time for herself and her family. She always loved crafting, like her father, and dreamed of making it her career. So, she started to learn about felting. She joined local women who were making felt items, reading books, watching videos, and practicing a lot. Her husband, Mr. Shakti Singh, CEO of Kriti Craft Pvt. Ltd and she went to arts and crafts events on weekends.

How did it start?

She found out she was good at felting. In 2006, She started her own business. She has a small team of women who need help. She trains them for free, so they can work and earn money. This helps them support their children and improve their lives. Their goal was to make our customers happy and help these women financially. Buying from our store supports children’s education and helps Nepalese housewives.

Now, We manufacture all kinds of felt products like felt ball rugs, felt toys, felt hats, felt Christmas accessories, felt pet products, felt shoes, felt home decor, felt mats and rugs, etc. accepting custom designs per the customer’s requirement. We use 100% pure wools of 28 microns from New Zealand which are non-toxic, non-allergic, and AZO-free to manufacture our product. We manufacture high-quality products in large volumes by accepting custom designs in custom color combinations.

Welcome to Kriti Craft, the place to find beautiful handicrafts from Nepal. We have been one of Nepal’s leading manufacturers and exporters of felt handicrafts since 2006 AD. We manufacture all kinds of felt products like felt ball rugs, felt toys, felt hats, felt Christmas accessories, felt pet products, felt shoes, felt jewelry, etc. accepting custom designs per the customer’s requirement. To manufacture our product, we use 100% pure wool from New Zealand that is non-toxic, non-allergic, and AZO-free. We manufacture high-quality products in large volumes by accepting custom designs in custom color combinations.

Felt products have gained popularity worldwide for their eco-friendly nature, durability, and unique aesthetic appeal. At Kriti Craft Pvt. Ltd, we pride ourselves on being a Nepal-based wholesale manufacturer and exporter of high-quality felt products. All our products are meticulously handcrafted by skilled Nepali women using premium New Zealand wool. In this blog, we’ll delve into the fascinating process of making felt products, covering wet and needle felting techniques.

The Magic of Felt: An Overview
Felt is a non-woven textile produced by matting, condensing, and pressing fibers together.
Two primary methods exist to create felt: wet felting and needle felting. Each method has its unique charm and applications, contributing to the versatility of felt products.
Wet Felting:
The Traditional Art of Wet felting is an ancient technique that uses water, soap, and agitation to bind wool fibers together. Here’s a step-by-step guide to the wet felting process:
1. Preparation of Wool: High-quality New Zealand wool is selected for its softness and durability. The wool is cleaned and carded to align the fibers.
2. Layering the Wool: Wool is layered in the desired shape and size, often using a template to guide the process.
3. Applying Water and Soap: Warm, soapy water is applied to the wool layers. The soap helps to open up the wool fibers, making them more pliable.
4. Agitation and Rolling: The wool is gently agitated and rolled, causing the fibers to entangle and bind together. This step requires patience and precision to ensure even felting.
4. Rinsing and Shaping: Once the wool has felted sufficiently, it is rinsed to remove soap residues. The felt is then shaped and left to dry, resulting in a sturdy, cohesive piece.
Wet felting creates various products, including rugs, cushions, and decorative items. The technique allows for the creating of intricate designs and patterns, adding a touch of traditional craftsmanship to each product.
Needle Felting:
The Art of Precision Needle felting, on the other hand, is a dry felting technique that uses barbed needles to interlock wool fibers. This method is perfect for creating detailed and intricate designs. Here’s how needle felting is done:
needle felt art needle felting Needle felting needle felt art Needle felt art
1. Preparation of Wool: Like wet felting, high-quality New Zealand wool is prepared by cleaning and carding.
2. Creating the Base Shape: Wool is shaped into a rough form of the desired object, whether it’s an animal figure, decorative item, or accessory.
3. Felting with Needles: Barbed needles are repeatedly poked into the wool, causing the fibers to tangle and compact. This step requires precision and skill to achieve the desired level of detail.
4. Adding Details: Additional wool can be added and felted to create details, textures, and features. The process is repeated until the desired design is achieved.
5. Finishing Touches: The finished product is carefully inspected, and any loose fibers are secured. The result is a beautifully detailed felt item with a unique charm. Needle felting is often used for making small, intricate items such as felt animals, ornaments, and accessories. The precision of needle felting allows for creativity and artistic expression, making each piece unique.

 

Shipping: 

We offer sea freight, air freight, and door-to-door service all over the country. We are exporting these high-quality felt products, especially in the USA, Denmark, Germany, South Korea, Japan, Australia, and other European countries.

Felt items are the ultimate combination of heritage, artistry, and sustainability. Crafted traditionally using the centuries-old method of wet felting or the precise craft of needle felting, each piece demonstrates the dexterity and talents of Nepalese artisans. At Kriti Craft, we are happy to present these handcrafted gems produced with love and care from the finest New Zealand wool.

Introduction

Welcome to our easy guide on how to take care of your beautiful felt ball rug! These rugs are specially made in Nepal from really good quality wool from New Zealand. They show off the amazing skills of the artisans who make them. Cleaning your rug the right way keeps it looking great and makes it last longer. Let’s look at some simple tips to help you do just that.

Understanding Your Rug’s Unique Composition

Paragraph 1: The Origin and Craftsmanship

Each felt ball rug you own is an embodiment of Nepalese craftsmanship. Skilled artisans meticulously create these pieces using high-quality New Zealand wool. Understanding this unique make-up is crucial for proper care.

Paragraph 2: Why Wool Quality Matters

The 28 microns pure wool used is renowned for its durability and softness. This quality ensures that your rug withstands wear while retaining its luxurious feel.

Routine Maintenance

Paragraph 3: Daily Care Tips

To keep your rug looking its best, regular maintenance is key. Gently shake it outside weekly to remove loose dirt and rotate it periodically to ensure even wear.

Paragraph 4: Dealing with Spills

Accidents happen! When spills occur, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the wool fibers.

Deep Cleaning Techniques

Paragraph 5: The Vacuuming Method

Vacuuming is an effective way to remove dust and dirt. Use a suction-only vacuum or a brush attachment, carefully avoiding the felt balls to prevent damage.

Paragraph 6: Spot Cleaning Essentials

For stubborn stains, spot clean with a mild detergent solution. Test it on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure colorfastness.

Professional Care and Storage

Paragraph 7: When to Seek Professional Help

While routine maintenance is essential, there are times when your felt ball rug requires professional attention. This is especially true for deep cleaning or handling significant stains that household methods can’t resolve.

Why You Should Get Professionals to Clean Your Rug

Experts know exactly how to clean wool rugs without harming them. They’re familiar with the high-quality wool in your rug and know the best way to handle it. They also have the necessary equipment to clean the felt ball rug.

How to Pick the Right Rug Cleaning Expert

  1. Look for Wool Rug Experience: Choose someone who specializes in wool rugs. They’ll know how to deal with your rug’s special needs.
  2. Gentle Cleaning is Key: Make sure the cleaner uses soft but effective ways to clean. Strong chemicals or rough treatment can ruin the wool and change how your rug looks and feels.
  3. Read Reviews or Get References: Before you choose a cleaner, look at what other customers have said or ask for recommendations. This helps you find someone trustworthy for your rug.
  4. Talk About the Cleaning Method: It’s okay to ask how they will clean your rug. A good cleaner will be open about what they do and what they use.

 

Paragraph 8: Storing Your Rug

Tips to store your rug

If storing your rug, roll it instead of folding it to prevent creases. Keep it in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Conclusion: Enjoying Your Rug for Years to Come

With these care tips, your felt ball rug will continue to adorn your space beautifully for years. Its unique charm and quality craftsmanship make it more than just a rug; it’s a piece of art.

In the world of laundry, innovation, and sustainability often go hand-in-hand. One such innovative and eco-friendly product that is gaining popularity among environmentally conscious consumers is the felt laundry dryer ball, especially those handmade in Nepal from high-quality pure New Zealand wool. In this blog, we write into why these felt laundry dryer balls are an essential addition to your laundry routine.

Felt Laundry dryer ball

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Choice

Handmade in Nepal by skilled women artisans, these felt laundry dryer balls are a testament to sustainable living. The use of pure New Zealand wool not only ensures a high-quality product but also speaks to the commitment to an eco-friendly lifestyle. Unlike plastic dryer balls or dryer sheets laden with chemicals, these wool balls are all-natural, biodegradable, and free from synthetic materials, making them a perfect choice for the environmentally conscious.

Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings

One of the most significant benefits of using wool felt dryer balls is the reduction in drying time. These balls help separate clothes in the dryer, allowing air to circulate more efficiently and thus reducing drying time by up to 25%. This not only saves energy but also cuts down on your electricity bills, making them a cost-effective solution in the long run.

Natural Fabric Softener

The natural properties of wool make these dryer balls an excellent alternative to chemical-laden fabric softeners. As they tumble with the laundry, they gently agitate the fibers, softening the fabric naturally without the use of harmful chemicals. This makes them ideal for those with sensitive skin or allergies and for baby clothes.

Durability and Longevity

Unlike conventional dryer sheets that are single-use, these wool-felt dryer balls can last for over a thousand loads. This durability translates to less waste and more savings, making them a smart investment for your household.

Supporting Local Artisans

By choosing these handmade dryer balls from Nepal, you are not only opting for a quality product but also supporting the livelihood of Nepalese women artisans. This empowerment through employment is a crucial aspect of the product’s appeal, as it aligns with fair trade principles and promotes the craftsmanship of these skilled workers.

How to Clean Nepalese Felt Shoes Made from New Zealand Wool? 

 

Introduction

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on maintaining the unique charm and durability of your Nepalese felt shoes. Handcrafted from the finest New Zealand wool by skilled Nepalese women, these shoes are not just a fashion statement, but a testament to quality and tradition. In this post, we’ll take you through the best practices for cleaning and caring for your felt shoes, ensuring they last longer and stay beautiful.

felt shoe

Section 1: Understanding Your Felt Shoes

The Art of Nepalese Craftsmanship: These shoes are more than just footwear; they are a piece of art. The wool from New Zealand is renowned for its quality, providing durability and comfort. Nepalese women use age-old techniques to turn this wool into exquisite shoes, making each pair unique.

Significance of Proper Care: Given their unique make, these shoes require special attention. Regular maintenance not only preserves their look but also extends their lifespan.

Section 2: Pre-Cleaning Tips

Before you dive into cleaning, it’s crucial to prepare your shoes correctly. Shake off any loose dirt and check for any specific care instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Section 3: Cleaning Process

1. Gentle Brushing: Start by gently brushing the shoes. This will remove surface dirt and prepare the wool for deeper cleaning.

2. Spot Cleaning: For isolated stains, use a mild cleaning solution. Apply it gently to the affected area and blot out the stain. Avoid harsh rubbing which can damage the wool fibers.

3. Hand Washing: If your shoes need a more thorough clean, hand wash them with care. Use lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Gently massage the shoes, being careful not to distort their shape.

4. Rinsing: Rinse the shoes with cool water. Make sure all soap is removed, as residual detergent can damage the wool.

Section 4: Drying and Storage

Drying: Never wring your felt shoes. Instead, press out the excess water gently and let it air dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid cramped spaces where they might get misshapen.

Section 5: Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance is key. Brush your shoes gently after each use and address spills and stains immediately. This proactive approach keeps your shoes in prime condition.

Section 5: Conclusion

For the wool part, you start by removing any dry dirt or debris. You can use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush the surface of the shoes. Be gentle to avoid damaging the felt. If there are specific spots or stains, you can clean them using a damp cloth. Avoid using hot water as it can shrink the wool. Gently dab the stained area with the cloth. If necessary, you can use a mild detergent, but make sure it’s suitable for wool. It’s important not to completely soak felt shoes in water. Felt is a delicate material, and excessive water can cause it to lose shape and shrink. If the shoes have an odor, you can sprinkle some baking soda inside them and leave it overnight. The baking soda will absorb the odors. Just remember to shake out the baking soda before wearing them again. After cleaning, let the shoe air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like heaters or direct sunlight, as these can cause the wool to shrink or become misshapen.

The sole of the shoes is suede leather. To clean it, start by gently brushing off any loose dirt or debris with a soft-bristled brush. Use a brush designed for suede or nubuck (like a crepe brush) to avoid damaging the felt. Brush the suede sole with a suede brush to raise the nap and restore its texture. Brush in the direction of the nap, not against it.

Our Story – How we begin ?

How did we begin our Journey of Felt Manufacturer and Exporter?

My Inspiration:

We have been one of the leading manufacturers and exporters of felt handicrafts from Nepal since 2006 AD.  Sonu KC, managing director (MD) of Kriti Craft Pvt. Ltd grew up in “Orang”, a rural district in Dolakha, Nepal. Her dad was a shepherd, and they had many sheep. They used to make hand-knitted rugs from sheep wool. She watched him work when she was young.

She moved to the capital for studies and work and she had a full-time job in the busy city. But one day, she decided to quit. She wanted more time for herself and her family. She always loved crafting, like her father, and dreamed of making it her career. So, she started to learn about felting. She joined local women who were making felt items, read books, watched videos, and practiced a lot. Her husband, Mr. Shakti Singh, CEO of Kriti Craft Pvt. Ltd and she went to arts and crafts events on weekends.

How did it start?

She found out she was good at felting. In 2006, She started her own business. She has a small team of women who need help. She trains them for free, so they can work and earn money.
