Nome Schoolhouse Wool Felting Cushion Limited Edition

See How Our Cushions Are Made

Upgrade your fiber arts studio with the sustainable durability of the Nome Schoolhouse Wool Felting Cushion. Unlike standard synthetic foam blocks that break down quickly, crumble, and leave unsightly plastic micro-debris embedded in your crafts, our 100% natural wool felting pads are built to last a lifetime.

Every single cushion is lovingly handmade on-site from scratch at the historic Nome Schoolhouse in Nome, North Dakota, USA. We source our raw wool from regional Midwest family farms, then carefully wash, card, dense-felt, and precision-sew each mat right here in our fiber mill.

The result is the ultimate ergonomic needle felting workspace. Our customers consistently rave that these pure wool blocks are noticeably softer on your wrists during long crafting sessions, yet offer the perfect, heavy-duty firmness needed to support your 2D and 3D shapes. Because wool naturally grabs and yields to the barbed needles without wearing down, it won't dull your tools or contaminate your beautiful projects. It is an essential, heirloom-quality addition to any needle felting kit.

Why is a wool felting cushion better than a foam felting block?

Standard foam cushions degrade rapidly under the repeated punctures of barbed felting needles, forcing you to replace them frequently. Worse, degrading foam breaks apart, sticking tiny colored synthetic bits to the bottom of your wool project. A dense wool cushion naturally self-heals, lasts for years, keeps your work completely clean, and prevents your felting needles from dulling or snapping.

Where are Nome Schoolhouse Felting Cushions manufactured?

These premium cushions are entirely processed and constructed in the USA. The wool is locally sourced from Midwest farms and completely washed, carded, felted, and sewn on-site at the historic Nome Schoolhouse in Nome, North Dakota.
