Know before you buy
The thick, dense wool construction provides a reliable thermal barrier for most standard serving dishes. However, it is best to avoid placing extremely hot cast iron or cookware directly from the stovetop onto the trivet to ensure the longevity of the wool fibers.
No, machine washing will cause the felted wool to shrink or lose its shape. We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allowing the trivet to air dry completely.
The design is crafted using a felted wool technique, where the colored wool fibers are integrated into the base material. This creates a durable, textured finish that won't peel or fade like a printed design.
Felted wool has a natural grip, so it generally stays in place well on most surfaces. Its weight and thickness provide enough friction to prevent it from sliding during normal use.
Because each trivet is handcrafted by artisans in Nepal, there may be slight variations in size and shape. You can expect them to be approximately 8 x 8 inches, but minor differences are a natural part of the handmade process.
