Felted Gotland Sheepskin

Food Shelter Clothing

Shaped by a deeply personal connection to the land and an unwavering commitment to sustainability, Food Shelter Clothing was born through the interplay of beauty and utility expressed through natural fibers and botanical color.

Centered around the centuries-old technique of felt making, textile artist Kristina Foley honors this ancient art form by celebrating the natural qualities of wool. Her technique allows the raw beauty of the fiber to emerge and transform, resulting in works of art that invite a respectful, reciprocal connection with the beauty, utility, and spirit of the animal without compromising on ethics. Above all, it's the transparency of her artistic process that emphasizes the authenticity of the materials she uses.

By building relationships with small farms, with a special focus on the Pacific Northwest to source wool, Kristina is part of a broader movement that supports land stewardship and a domestic supply chain that prioritizes regenerative farming practices, animal welfare, and the safety of farm workers, all while collaborating with designers, artists, and educators.

Our one-of-a-kind felted sheepskins are handmade using wool sourced from small, domestic farms. While felting creates a strong product, some shedding is normal. The nature of each felted sheepskin is as unique as the animal it came from.

To fluff up the wool and shake out debris, take your sheepskin outside and give it a good shake.

When you're ready to wash, fill a spacious tub with lukewarm water (the warmer the water and the more agitation you use, the tighter the felt will get).

While soap isn’t necessary, a mild soap like Eucalan wool wash will soften and reinvigorate the felt.

Lightly soak, swish, and stir. Rinse in cold water, roll the sheepskin up, and press the water out. Shake it out gently, reshape, and lay flat to dry.

If brushing is needed, a wide-toothed comb will tidy up the felt without dislodging its curls. Avoid brushing while wet.
