Know before you buy
Yes, because they are crafted from 100% wool, these coasters are naturally absorbent and will effectively protect your surfaces from condensation.
You can machine wash them on a cold, delicate cycle or take them to a professional dry cleaner. We recommend air drying to maintain the integrity of the wool fibers.
Because each piece is handwoven on a traditional foot loom, there will be slight variations in the weave and texture. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the artisan process and ensure your set is one-of-a-kind.
These coasters are designed specifically for indoor use. The natural wool construction is best kept in a climate-controlled environment to prevent moisture buildup or potential damage from the elements.
Each purchase includes a set of two coasters.
