{"product_id":"phile-crate-of-mushrooms","title":"Phile Crate of Mushrooms","description":"\u003cp\u003eSix mushrooms, each shaped and dyed a little differently, sitting in a crate that holds them. Everything is worked by hand from 100% wool felt — a material with real weight and grain to it, nothing moulded, nothing printed, no plastic sheen. The colours come from food-safe dyes, which is what allows the pieces to be handled and mouthed without concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWool felt is quietly practical as well as beautiful. The lanolin held in each fibre repels moisture and dirt, so the mushrooms shrug off the spills that would ruin a fabric toy, and they hold their form through years of being carried, stacked and dropped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crate is what makes the set liveable. Six pieces with one obvious home means the collection reads as an arrangement rather than scattered toys, and it looks at ease on an open shelf in a room you actually use.

Nothing here lights up or makes a sound, which is precisely why the mushrooms end up as food, treasure, currency or characters depending on the week — the child supplies the idea, the object simply holds it. Made by hand from a natural material with food-safe colour, this is a set that ages well rather than wearing out, and one that can be left in view in a room designed for adults without apology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 crate and 6 felt mushrooms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% wool felt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDyes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFood-safe, safe for babies and pets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 cm (L) x 18 cm (W) x 7 cm (H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNepal, handmade by Fair Trade artisans\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSurface clean only.

Lanolin surrounding each wool fibre repels moisture and dirt, so the pieces resist spills and hold their shape over years of handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is felt wool cleaned?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSurface clean rather than immersing. Dab spills with a damp cloth, follow with a clean damp cloth, then dry away from direct sunlight. A properly soiled piece can be hand washed gently in lukewarm water with wool soap — avoid agitation, which felts the fibres further. Never soak, machine wash or tumble dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the colours safe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The dyes are food safe, chosen so the pieces can be handled and mouthed. As with any set made of separate pieces, adult supervision is recommended during play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho makes it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFair Trade artisans in Nepal, working under standards covering fair pay, transparency, non-discrimination, gender equality and good working conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat age is it for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhilé describe it as suitable for children of all ages.
