Needle-felt card kit





NEEDLE-FELT KIT FOR GREETINGS CARD – IDEAL GIFT OR TO TRY YOURSELF
Having enjoyed creating cards myself, using needle-felting, I thought if I put together a kit, others could have a go without the initial expense of buying a range of wool and cards. Once you’re hooked, then it’s no problem buying in bulk!
Alternatively, I thought it may make an unusual present for a “crafty” friend.
I’ve done two initial kits – this one presents everything in a hessian bag, and includes a piece of foam; the other listing has more cards and wool, but assumes you can find yourself a piece of foam to “stab” into, and don’t need a fancy bag. I’ve done an instruction sheet too.

100% Baby Alpaca Scarf





I brought this wool back from a holiday in Peru. It feels soft and warm, and was a most enjoyable knitting project. Approx scarf size: 154cm length, 15cm width. Just right for doubling over and keeping your neck warm!
I even "blocked" it which is a new experience for me, as in all my years of knitting I've never done that before.  But the result is an amazing difference, so it's something I'll do in future.
I still have more baby alpaca wool, in other colours ... so, what next?!
