Join Me on My Felting Journey:

It all started with my love for knitting – until I discovered knitted felting in early 2022. Pretty, sure, but… limited. I wanted more! 🧶 My goal: to create an amazing bag. So, I hit Google… and stumbled across something that instantly captivated me: real felting!

The possibilities were incredible! Curious as always, I dove headfirst into the world of YouTube tutorials. I ordered supplies in colors I liked, but terms like combed wool, batts, or needle felt? 🤷‍♀️ No clue what they meant (I only knew needle felt as a type of flooring!).

Lo and behold: my first attempt with water, soap, and wool fluff actually worked! 🫧 My very first project was a felted loop scarf – made with an English tutorial that even used a resist, something I’d never seen before.
The result? Let’s just say it was… unique. The loop was so stiff it could stand on its own – definitely not cozy. But hey, moments like that are part of the journey. They marked the beginning of a passion that still drives me today. It’s not just about making mistakes; it’s about learning from them and getting better with every project.

After more than 140 courses (both online and in-person) and countless exciting projects, I’ve come further than I ever dreamed back then!
I’m excited to share more of my journey with you – how that initial curiosity grew into a true passion… and eventually became what is now Mocaro! 💛

Welcome to Mocaro – and to me, Monika! 🌟

Hi, I’m Monika, the creative mind behind Mocaro. My brand is all about quality, creativity and personality. Every piece tells a story - and I look forward to sharing these stories with you. 💛

What is now a brand of unique, handmade felt creations began with my lifelong love for crafting: knitting, sewing, embroidery – I’ve always expressed my creativity through working with my hands. But it was felting that truly captured my heart. The process of working with wool – a material that is both sustainable and full of life – continues to inspire and fascinate me with every piece I create.

The journey hasn’t always been smooth: there were failed purchases, mishaps, and plenty of challenges. But each of them helped me grow. With every project, I’ve learned, improved, and refined my designs.

Now, I’m sharing this passion with you. Stay tuned – there’s so much to discover! Whether you’re looking for a unique accessory, a handmade one-of-a-kind piece, or are simply curious – Mocaro has something special for you.
