These little fairies love to flit about at the tips of your fingers. Knit in the round from a fingering weight yarn, they are felted in either a washing machine or a dryer for sturdiness and durability. Transparent, glinty wings are knit from a thin gauge gold-colored wire and sewn to the back. Lots of fun for young fairy lovers with bright imaginations!
