Know before you buy
These mats are washable, but they are not machine washable. We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap, or hand washing gently in cool water and laying them flat to dry to maintain their shape.
While the woolen felt provides natural thermal insulation and is heat-resistant, it is not designed to withstand extremely high temperatures from direct stovetop cookware. They are best suited for warm plates and mugs rather than heavy-duty heat protection.
Yes, the mats are crafted from natural woolen felt, which is naturally hypoallergenic, making them a safe choice for most homes.
No, the Felted Pear Mats are designed with a specific top-side finish and are not reversible.
Each mat is handcrafted by artisans in Nepal. By purchasing these, you are directly supporting fair wages and ethical working conditions for the skilled craftspeople who produce them.
