Gnomes etc

Needle Felting
All my needle felted critters are made using fleece from British sheep. I source the fleece from farms in Bradford, Dorset and the Sussex Downs. I wash, dye and card it, then it is ready for use. The curls I use for my gnomes' beards come from either Teeswater, Icelandic
or gorgeous Masham sheep.
Most of my needle felted creations are completely safe, but a few have bead eyes and decorative items.

I am very pleased to be offering hand crafted items from Fabric Farm. All the felt used is wool felt. Please see individual items for prices.
