Slocombe the sloth is a bit of a hippy at heart. He’s a chilled out, tree hugging, totally relaxed kind of dude and a great example to all of us who are always rushing around in today’s busy world. Slocombe knows that simply hanging out with his friends is one of life’s great pleasures and he’s in no hurry to join the rat race and set his stress levels soaring through the roof. Ok, so he may not have a high powered job or a fancy new yacht but he has inner peace, and that counts for a lot!

Having Slocombe around will remind you to slow down a bit. He’ll always be ready to wrap those long arms around you and give you a big, long, loving cuddle to remind you about what’s really important in life.

Sloth measures 13” (33cm) tall when made with light worsted weight (DK/8 ply) ‘King Cole - Moments’ eyelash type yarn and a size D (3.25mm) Hook. Mohair yarns work well too.

Suggested safety eye size - 12mm
