Know before you buy
The 100% wool construction provides a dense, insulating barrier that effectively protects surfaces from hot pans and serving dishes. It is designed for standard kitchen heat, though it is best to avoid placing extremely high-heat cast iron directly from a burner onto the trivet.
Because wool is naturally stain and odor-resistant, most spills can be spot-cleaned by gently dabbing the area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the trivet or putting it in the dishwasher, as the wool fibers can lose their shape or felt further when submerged.
The mushroom design is integrated into the construction of the trivet. Each piece is handcrafted using felted wool techniques, meaning the vibrant red and white colors are part of the material itself rather than a surface print.
The Fair Trade certification ensures that the artisans in Nepal who handcraft these trivets are paid fair wages and work in safe, ethical conditions. By purchasing this item, you are directly supporting sustainable livelihoods for these skilled craftspeople.
Yes, because the trivet is made from 100% natural, upcycled wool without synthetic backings or chemical coatings, it is fully biodegradable. It is a sustainable choice that will eventually break down naturally at the end of its long lifecycle.
