This felted wool bowl was handmade with beige & pink wool yarn colors, & was knit/felted with double the yarn, so is more sturdy than my typical felted bowls. If you want to use this as a planter, it's best to have the plant in a small container with no drainage holes. You can clean this bowl if it gets dirty though - just rinse in cold water, shape it back into a symmetrical bowl, & air dry in the sun. I package these bowls ready for giving as gifts, in a small 100% recycled kraft paper box tied with string.
