Autumn is a lovely time of year for felting especially with all the beautiful colours of leaves, it’s bright and not too cold. We have had a lovely wet felted flower hair clip picture sent to us by Shoshi you can see more of her work and join her on her creative adventure at shoshiplatypus

We have a few new products in including carded British Jacob wool in batts, which is great for spinning and felting as it is beautifully soft to work with, and can be used to create a base for wet felting or a core for 3D needle felting. We will also soon be selling alpaca, and natural wool in single colours.
