The Meaning Behind Our Mobiles

Long before mobiles became nursery décor, they were symbols of love, protection and craftsmanship.

From carved charms above Viking cradles to woven talismans in Eastern Europe, mobiles have always held meaning.

At Thistle & Felt, we carry this legacy forward. We create handmade mobiles with intention and care, using natural materials and pure wool felt. Each piece is a quiet ritual in itself - stitched by hand and crafted to bring a gentle sense of calm to the nursery.

We do more than decorate nurseries. We create tiny rituals of care, rooted in centuries of love and lore.

The figures in each mobile are chosen for their meaning: guardians, guides and gentle companions.
