The craft - From wool to art

In the heart of Nepal, natural New Zealand wool is transformed into small works of art through
a centuries-old tradition - felting. At Gry & Sif we celebrate this skilled craft, where some of the world's best artisans bring the technique to life with their hands and creativity.

It All Starts in Denmark

In the heart of Nepal, natural New Zealand wool is transformed into
small works of art through a centuries-old tradition - felting. At Gry & Sif, we celebrate this skilled craft, where some of the world's best artisans bring the technique to life with their hands and creativity. At Gry & Sif, every product starts its journey in Denmark, where it is designed with a combination of Scandinavian elegance and attention to detail.

Nepalese Craftsmanship Meets Danish Design

The journey begins with the wool being carded to a soft texture. With warm soapy water, the wool is gently rubbed and shaped to bind the fibers together and create a strong felt material.

The finished figure to dry

As the damp wool is stretched, it is carefully shaped into the desired figure - be it a cute bunny or a curious mouse. The figure is then dried under the hot Nepalese sun.

The Last Craft Steps

Once the desired shape is created, the most detailed
and artistic step begins: the addition of embroidery and decorative details. Each
piece is decorated by hand by our skilled Nepalese artisans who bring the design to life with
precision and care. The fine embroidery creates texture and
personality, while small details like facial features, patterns and colored accents
make each piece unique. It could be a flower in the hand of a mouse,
fine stripes on a bunny's coat, or tiny buttons on a gnome. Every stitch and
every bead is carefully placed, requiring both patience and immense
craftsmanship.

This phase is where the magic really happens - a process that
turns each creation into a work of art with its own story. It is also where
Gry & Sif's vision of uniting aesthetics and tradition is expressed and
where the charm of the handmade becomes an essential part of the product's
identity.

Each product becomes not just a decoration, but a
testament to dedication, creativity and a deep respect for craftsmanship. It is
the small, meticulous details that make the difference and ensure that Gry & Sif's
products stand out as something special.
