These pretty felted pears are quick, easy and provide a great introduction to both machine felting and adding needle-felted accents to your felted projects. The base pear is knit in the round from the bottom up, stuffed with fiberfill, then felted in washing machine. A contrasting color may be added post-felting by needle-felting deconstructed yarn to the surface of the pear. Comprehensive instructions are provided for both machine felting and needle-felting.

Leaf: 1 skein Knit Picks Palette; Color: Grass (12 yds per pear)
