The Dragon’s Keep
$199.00
The First Thing He Will Ever Study
A newborn can focus on very little — maybe eight inches, maybe a foot. For the first months, the world is mostly soft shapes and light. Whatever hangs above the crib becomes one of the first objects a person ever looks at properly, day after day, while everything else is still a blur.
That felt worth making well.
Twelve Hours, One Needle
Someone sits down with a barbed needle and a pile of loose wool, and stabs it. Thousands of times. Slowly the fibres tangle and compress until a dragon has a body, then wings, then small green scales down his back. It takes about twelve hours for one mobile.
No molds, no machinery, no two identical. The crack across the egg runs a different way on every one. We can only finish a few each week, which is why yours is made after you order it rather than pulled off a shelf.
What Hangs From the Hoop
- The dragon — Slate blue with grey wings and green scales, more curious than fearsome.
- A stone tower — Textured block by block, the heaviest piece and the slowest to turn.
- A sword and shield — A broadsword and a pale shield with a cross felted into the face.
- A cracked egg and a flame — Something about to hatch, and something already burning.
- A storm cloud — Soft grey, threaded between wool felt spheres in stone and dusty blue.
Everything moves independently in the smallest draft. There is no motor and no music — just weight, balance, and the air in the room.
Nothing You Wouldn’t Want Above a Sleeping Baby
100% New Zealand wool, dyed with non-toxic, skin-safe colours. The hoop is solid beechwood, sanded and left untreated — no lacquer, no varnish, nothing that yellows or off-gasses. No plastic anywhere. No glue holding it together.
Specifications
- Wooden hoop diameter — 9 inches (23 cm)
- Total drop length — Approximately 16-18 inches (40-45 cm) from the top loop to the lowest element
- Weight — Approximately 500 g
- Hanging — Works with any standard ceiling hook, or pair it with our Nursery Floor Stand if there is nowhere good to hang from
- Lead time — Made after ordering; ships in 5–7 days
- Care — Spot clean only; keep out of direct sunlight
Made to Be Given
It arrives wrapped in tissue inside a keepsake box, ready to hand over exactly as it is — no repackaging, no price anywhere on it. Add a handwritten note at checkout, or have it sent straight to the new parents.
Most people who buy this are not buying it for themselves.
Important safety notice
This mobile is intended strictly for visual stimulation and decoration; it is not a toy. Please mount it securely and completely out of reach of the baby’s hands. Adjust the height as the baby grows, and remove it entirely once the child can pull themselves up to standing.
