These furry cat toys are knit from wool yarn combined with
eyelash yarn. The items are then thrown into the washing machine to felt them. If you have a kitten or a cat that eats string, make the plain versions instead.

Two distinct shapes are offered in the toy pattern. A ball- knit in the round with a bell and fiberfill inside, and a tub knit flat and seamed up with eyelets on either end to close it up over a bell or other noisemaker. Both are made holding a wool yarn and an eyelash yarn held together.

Warning: Do not use the eyelash yarn if your pet eats string. Simply make using 2 strands of the wool. Serious intestinal injuries and even death may be caused if the cat eats the string.
