Dry flat. Do not machine wash. Linen Sleeve may be machine washed and dried.
    Sonoma Wool Company uses in their products comes from family-owned and operated ranches throughout the United States, like Pozzi Ranch, in Valley Ford, California.

    Sonoma Wool Company does not use wool that is carbonized. Carbonization is a harsh chemical process many industrial wool processors use to clean vegetation from the wool. Using hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and other chemicals, carbonization strips away all of the vegetation matter in the wool. Because their wool is not carbonized, you may see bits of residual vegetation in your Sonoma Wool Company products. Sonoma Wool Company chooses to offer an all-natural product with residual specks of vegetation because they believe it is best for the environment and the people who will be using their wool products.

    Wool is ultra absorbent and breathes. Linen encourages evaporation.

It will create a home for a number of items you rinse throughout the day. A safe haven in the kitchen, from baking or blending smoothies, the perfect place to rinse and let items dry. It’s time to Ditch the Plastic Rack! Rusted, moldy, and decades old… It’s time to give your kitchen an eco-friendly upgrade!

    This Wool Dish Drying Mat is not only good for your own home, but also makes a great holiday gift for your families. Packing it into a cute box and bringing a nice surprise in this holiday!

    Sigfus Designs: The Jewelry Brand Embracing Inclusivity with American-Sourced Materials..

    It is never too early to shop around for beautiful and unique holiday gifts. Local designs always catch my eyes more than the market brands since myself is an artist, I love artistic products. Today, I would love to introduce a jewelry brand that has very unique and cute designs. It is not only good for the holiday gifts, but also for birthdays, anniversaries or any other reasons. Sigfús Designs creates fun and whimsical pieces that are as uplifting as they are lightweight to wear. In these tough times, this jewelry designer believes no matter how hard life can get, a bold pop of color and a beautiful statement piece can be just what you need to take on the day — no matter who you are.

    Handmade in Tucson, Arizona, this earring-focused collection is a little bit desert, a little bit retro, and a whole lot of rock and roll. More importantly, Sigfús Designs is an all-inclusive brand. Meaning that every ethnicity, size, shape, etc. can truly rock these trendy pieces.

    Sigfús Designs offers the earrings that look ceramic but are actually made out of American-sourced polymer clay. Why use this material? Not only is it lightweight to wear, but it’s very durable with less chance of breaking. 

    Sigfús Designs owner and maker Lauren Valenzuela sees polymer clay like an artist does a blank canvas. She makes each piece of clay into a unique accessory and even mixes her own colors using spices such as Turmeric and alcohol ink. Some earrings also incorporate resin, wood, lucite, wire, and other elements.

    Some of her best-selling earring styles include:

    · Large Wishbone 

    · Stella 

    · Moonchild Dangles

    Sigfús Designs is sold in over 200 shops and boutiques nationwide as well as overseas. For more information, visit https://www.sigfusdesigns.com/.

    About Sigfús Designs:

    Founded by Tucson, Arizona native Lauren Valenzuela in 2018, her brand name Sigfús is a family name that traces back to her Icelandic roots, paying homage to her lineage. Lauren began working with polymer clay and her craft has only expanded. As a believer in diversity and inclusivity she takes her restaurant and foodie background with her into the jewelry making process adding turmeric, black pepper, and dried herbs to her designs. Her business is also community-oriented offering business mentoring and online classes.
