Felt Balls from Nepal: A Colorful Craft Tradition

Felt balls have been an integral part of Nepalese culture for centuries. They are handmade using a traditional technique called "wet felting." Skilled artisans begin by carefully rolling and shaping wool fibers into small balls. These balls are then dipped in warm, soapy water and gently rolled between their palms. The water and soap help the fibers interlock, creating a solid, compact ball.
