Broad sheets of sola, wrapped over one another around a round core, give the Sola Cabbage Ball SO91 the look of a tightly folded cabbage head. Unlike the ball designs covered in many small pieces, this one uses large, smooth panels with only a few seams.
Where the sheets meet, a strip of brown sola skin is left showing, and these seams wander across the ball in irregular lines, creating a crackle or cracked-earth pattern against the white. The photographs show a soft, slightly wrinkled white surface with fine fibre texture, and the brown seams have a rough, grainy edge. Gallery images style the balls in a wooden bowl, on a wooden board and in close-up.
The bold contrast makes the Cabbage Ball a strong accent in neutral interiors, farmhouse and wabi-sabi styling, and natural gift hampers, where one or a few balls can stand alone in a bowl. It also absorbs fragrance oils. Floral Mongers supplies it as part of its natural decorative flowers range, packed in counted packs for wholesale and export.

Natural variation
The seam pattern depends on how each sheet is wrapped by hand, so no two balls share the same lines. Skin colour along the seams and the whiteness of the sheets vary naturally. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Keep in a dry place, away from damp walls, bathrooms and direct sunlight.
- Lift the ball from underneath rather than squeezing the surface pieces.
- Clean with a soft, dry brush; avoid wet cloths and sprays.
- Store in the original carton between uses so the covering is not crushed.
- Unpack promptly on arrival and let the pieces air in a dry room; avoid storing in sealed, humid packaging
