These sweet snowy owls are knit in the round, then felted in a washing machine or a dryer. They are weighted so that you when you push them down, they wobble right back up (see the last photo- a .gif shows one in action!). Complete instructions are provided for knitting, installing the internal weight and felting. Fun for kids and adults!
