Nothing makes us happier than seeing OakenArk characters become part of your homes, celebrations, and everyday moments. Here are a few of the places our little friends have found their way to.
Welcome to OakenArk, where natural wool is slowly shaped by hand into small characters, seasonal keepsakes, and thoughtful gifts. Each piece is individually needle-felted with its own subtle character, from felt nursery decor and charming harvest mice to felt Santas made to return to the shelf year after year.
Discover handcrafted gifts for birthdays, new homes, weddings, holidays, and everyday moments worth remembering. Alongside our wool felt collection, you’ll also find the natural homeware OakenArk began with — hand-carved coconut bowls, woven baskets, and thoughtfully made pieces that bring a little more warmth to everyday living.
OAKENARK
FROM CODE TO A QUIETER LIFE
Oakley and Rae left city life behind to build OakenArk around natural materials, slow craft, and thoughtful design. Today, together with a small group of artisans, they shape wool into tiny characters made to bring warmth and joy to everyday homes.
A single figurine can take hours of needle-felting: layer on layer of carded wool, shaped, firmed, and finished with details small enough to need a steady hand and good light. We work with a small group of artisans who still do it the slow way, because it is the only way that produces something worth keeping. Pure wool, biodegradable materials, plastic-free packing — from the fleece to the parcel on your doorstep, we try to leave the lightest mark we can. If you are choosing a first piece, our guide to felt figurines as heirloom decor is a good place to start.
Find a little character for the moments worth remembering — a new baby, a first home, a wedding, or a favorite holiday. From spooky but sweet Halloween characters to tiny wool friends made for everyday encouragement, each piece is designed to bring a little personality and warmth to its new home.
Each character is individually needle-felted from natural wool, so subtle variations make every piece its own. Explore the designs customers come back for most, discover what’s just arrived, or browse OakenArk’s hand-carved coconut bowls and natural homeware.
