Made From Nature

Wool is a natural fiber, harvested from free-roaming sheep and known for its durability, resistance to flame and liquid, and excellent thermal and sound insulation.

Wool Designer Felt is biodegradable, 100% VOC free, contains no chemical irritants, is free of harmful substances, contributes to LEED©, and is certified by Oeko-Tex Standard 100.

Planet-Friendly, Renewable Materials

Our materials are fueled by sunshine, grass, and grain. Designer Felt wool is sourced from Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Every year, sheep are sheared during the warmer months and grow a new fleece for the coming winter.

Mutti and Klaus products are made from Fine Grain Cork harvested in Portugal. Cork is a biodegradable material collected from cork oak trees growing in the Western Mediterranean Basin. The cork is harvested by
carefully removing the tree bark without damaging the tree’s surface. The cork production process also operates on very little waste, and leftover cork is recycled back into raw material.

Wool felt is inherently moisture resistant. Water spilled on wool will pool and bead before being absorbed into the felt product. Also, the alignment of wool fibers in the felting process makes moisture permeation more difficult.

That being said, if an area of the wool is constantly agitated through scrubbing, that area’s moisture resistance will decrease over time.

To help preserve your wool product’s natural moisture resistance, we recommended cleaning as soon as you notice a spill. The longer a spill sits on the wool, the more work it will take to remove it.

Read on for instructions on cleaning specific stain types.

Spot Cleaning Your Wool Product

So, you’ve just settled into your workspace when - whoops! - is that a fresh coffee spill on your beautiful wool mat? Don’t worry; accidents happen. We’ll show you the 3 simple steps to keeping your Wool Desk Pad looking like new

  1. Spot clean the affected area by dabbing with a microfiber cloth. Absorb as much of the spill as possible.
  2. Once the majority of the residue has been removed with the microfiber cloth, place the stained area under cool running water. Let the water run over the area for at least 30 seconds to allow the cool water to permeate.
  3. After the stain has been diluted, dab the excess water with a fresh microfiber cloth or towel. When the area is damp to the touch, leave the mat to air-dry for 24 hours.

Coffee, Tea, & Hot Chocolate

  1. Spot clean the soiled area by dabbing it with a microfiber cloth. Absorb as much of the spill as possible.
  2. Once the majority of the residue has been removed with the microfiber cloth, place the stained area under cool running water. Let the water run over the area for at least 30 seconds and allow the cool water to permeate.
  3. After the stain has been diluted, dab excess water with a fresh microfiber cloth or towel. When the area is damp to the touch, leave the mat to air-dry for 24 hours.
  4. If the stain persists after you’ve let the felt air-dry, apply White Spirit solvent to a microfiber cloth and dab at the felt, starting from the outer edges of the stain and working inwards. Try not to agitate the wool by rubbing.
  5. Use a fresh, clean, absorbent towel to soak up excess solvent. After the excess has been absorbed with a towel, allow the felt to air-dry once more.

Wine & Fruit

  1. Spot clean the soiled area by dabbing it with a microfiber cloth. Absorb as much of the spill as possible.
  2. Once the majority of the residue has been removed with the microfiber cloth, place the stained area under cool running water. Let the water run over the area for at least 30 seconds and allow the cool water to permeate.
  3. After the stain has been diluted, dab the excess water with a fresh microfiber cloth or towel. When the area is damp to the touch, leave the mat to air-dry for 24 hours.
  4. If the wine or fruit stain persists, dab at the stain with a microfiber cloth with a 3:1 mixture of Isopropyl rubbing alcohol and water.
  5. When the stain has been removed to your satisfaction, blot up any of the remaining mixtures with a fresh absorbent towel and let air-dry.

Butter & Grease

  1. If remnants remain from grease or oily food spills, gently scrape at the surface where the build-up is most visible. Use a blunt knife or fork handle to scrape.
  2. Apply liberally white spirit to a microfiber cloth and dab at the felt, starting from the outer edges of the stain and working inwards. Try not to agitate the wool by rubbing.
  3. Use a fresh, clean, absorbent towel to soak up excess solvent. Allow the felt to air-dry once more.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as necessary.

- The Inspiration -
Meet Mutti & Klaus

Mutti & Klaus is a sustainably crafted wool felt product line for your home and workspace. The collection seamlessly blends The Felt Store’s 100% Wool Designer Felt with the elegance of fine grain cork. 

The Mutti & Klaus brand is rooted in the remarkable journey of Ursula and Klaus Brand. Their story began in 1940 while Ursula Jahn was working at her future in-laws East German felt manufacturing plant. Klaus was smitten with Ursula’s elegance, and they soon married. Ursula's grandchildren affectionately called her Mutti [mu-tee], a German term of endearment meaning Mother.

Ursula and Klaus were not just life partners but also business collaborators, with Klaus excelling as a businessman and Ursula contributing her creative touch. She displayed a distinct design style that carried through her day-to-day life, often marked by rounded forms, soft textures, and gold finishes.

Their journey was marked by challenges, as World War II and the Soviet occupation of East Germany led to the expropriation of their family-owned felt company. With limited resources, they fled to West Germany where they took refuge living in a small apartment and finding ways to make ends meet. Klaus secured a loan for felt material, which he shaped into saddle pads, while Ursula added the finishing touches with her embroidery skills.

Together, they hand-crafted and sold these saddle pads to the equestrian trade. Their hard work paid off as they slowly regained financial stability and established a felt manufacturing plant in West Germany.

After German reunification, they acquired a specialty felt plant in East Germany, now the oldest in Europe. During the Cold War era, they expanded their operations to Canada and the United States. Their son, Jack Brand, eventually took the reins of the family business, followed by their grandchildren who also joined the family business. Ursula [Mutti] and Klaus served as the driving inspiration behind the establishment of this brand, a modest homage to their lasting and impactful legacy.
