That's Woolly Something

These are so easy to knit up and felt, and even more fun to embellish! The gnome measures, after felting and stuffed with fiberfill, about 7-inches high. The mushroom measures about 4-inches. The beards are needle felted using wool roving.

According to old German folklore, the garden gnome is good luck, and that the forces of nature are on your side!

Look to the website in the near future for additional samples. The gnome makes for a great Santa Claus. Directions and photos to follow soon!
