Fuzzy little chicks for spring! They are knit in the round from the bottom up, stuffed, then felted in a washing machine or dryer. An internal weight is installed as they are knitted so that they will wobble back up when pushed over (see last photo for one in action). They would be great in an Easter Basket or make a sweet toy for a child!
