ANNOUNCEMENT: I’ve found that many of my customers are accomplished knitters but unsure of their felting skills. I’ve recently started a newsletter where I answer customer’s questions and provide tips on felting, as well as announce new patterns and provide substantial newsletter-only discounts.

This simple old-fashioned bear puppet is knit in the round with an eyelash yarn and a wool yarn held together. He is then felted in a washing machine, with his eyes installed and his nose embroidered post-felting. A quick project, Bear Puppet makes a wonderful gift for a child!
