Using 100% wool roving, the designer wraps [smooth 2-inch river stones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drifting-stones) to give them a gentle yet whimsical feel and appearance.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Soft Home Accessories:** There is an opportunity for designers and businesses to create more soft, playful, and fuzzy home accessories in unexpected shapes.
- **Textile-based Decor:** There is a growing trend towards using fabric and textiles not traditionally seen in home decor to create new and unique textures and shapes.
- **Hybrid Material Products:** There is potential for using unexpected combinations of materials to create products that provide unique sensory experiences, such as the combination of hard stones and soft wool in Felted Stones by FeltJar.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can explore using non-traditional materials and shapes to create playful and unexpected products like Felted Stones by FeltJar.
- **Textile and Fabric Manufacturing:** There is an opportunity for textile and fabric manufacturers to create new products by expanding into soft goods for home decor and accessories.
- **Fitness and Rehabilitation Tools:** In addition to being used as simply decorative pieces, Felted Stones by FeltJar could be marketed as a novel form of medicine balls for fitness and rehabilitation-focused companies.
