Gnome Kit
Our new Gnome kit is so sweet and makes a great beginner project. Make 6 gnomes as these are fun and addictive to make.
recommended for ages 10 and up (children will need supervision due to sharp needles)
Supplies included are:
- 4 medium felting needles
- 1 Foam felting mat 4"x4”
- Enough wool to make 6 gnomes, we will probably just make 1 or 2 together
- pipe cleaner
- string
Our wool is all sourced from a small Canadian mill who uses local wool from Western Canadian wool. They process the wool with organic soaps, and minimally process it so their is no harsh chemicals and bleaches used. All of the wool is processed on vintage equipment from the 1800’s. Because the wool is minimally processed you will find bits of straw within which add character.
The wool is a great fibre for felting, it comes from the Dorset sheep and needle felts beautifully with a medium size needle
