Finished Size: Approximately 3.5” (8.9cm) tall, depending on yarn used and amount of felting.

Yarn: Use only 100% wool, worsted weight. Do not use a ‘superwash’ wool as this will not felt. Bleached white yarns do not felt and many off-white yarns may not felt well. Test a sample knit swatch of white yarn before using. You’ll need less than 100 yards (91m) of each color per project:

  • Chihuahua: Color A (Gold); Color B (White).
  • Papillon: Color A (White), Color B (Black).
  • Pomeranian: Color A (Gold).
  • Chinese Crested: Color A (Gray-Brown), Color B (White).
