This fair trade cream, green, red, and brown felted wool trivet is hand made in Nepal. It is approximately 8" in diameter and is dyed in the pattern of an amanita muscaria mushroom, also known as the fly agaric. Because each one is handmade, colors may vary slightly from the images, but will be very similar. This felted wool trivet is beautiful and durable, and its purchase helps artisans in Nepal earn a living wage. Felted wool is a great insulator with a high burn point, and is durable yet non-abrasive on your counters; qualities that make it ideal for a hot pad.
