They are a keystone species: by eating sea urchins they keep kelp forests healthy, and mothers carry their pups on their chests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandmade by the women of SBC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Felti is made using dry needle felting, a technique that turns unspun wool into a sculpted animal one jab of the needle at a time, so no two are exactly alike. These felted ornaments are handcrafted by Indigenous women in the Spectacled Bear Conservation Society's (SBC) alternative livelihood program in northwestern Peru. The program creates steady, sustainable income for women living in critical spectacled bear habitat, so families and bears can both thrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 100% wool, dry needle felted by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady to hang: includes a cotton string loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: palm-sized, about 15 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in: northwestern Peru by Spectacled Bear Conservation Society artisans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: spot clean only; store somewhere dry between seasons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a toy?\u003c\/strong\u003e Feltis are decorative ornaments and keepsakes, not toys, and are not suitable for young children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes each one look the same?\u003c\/strong\u003e Every Felti is handmade, so expect small, charming differences in shape and colour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere does the money go?\u003c\/strong\u003e Your purchase pays the artisans through SBC's livelihood program and funds SOSA's conservation partnerships.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SBC","offers":[{"title":"Sea Otter (With Pup)","offer_id":53606579241272,"sku":"SNUAO","price":36.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/5975\/2760\/files\/snuggle-sea-otter-pup-felti-christmas-ornament-on-tree-1.jpg?v=1793225123","url":"https:\/\/thesosa.com\/products\/snuggle-sea-otter-pup-felti","provider":"SOSA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
