The Association for Craft Producers (ACP) in Nepal has been helping to revive the traditional craft of felting πŸ™ŒπŸΌ Felting is a simple process of bonding wool fibres together using motion and heat and water. The wool is first dyed, with AZO free dyes, then the slippers are felted on a mould and the leather sole is stitched on.
