ANNOUNCEMENT: I’ve found that many of my customers are accomplished knitters but unsure of their felting skills. I’ve recently started a newsletter where I answer customer’s questions and provide tips on felting, as well as announce new patterns and provide substantial newsletter-only discounts.

Who says yetis have to be scary? Friendly Yeti is soft, cuddly and, well, friendly. She is knit in the round without any seaming, then felted in a washing machine. Her body is knit with a wool yarn and an eyelash yarn held together, while her face, hands and toes are knit with 2 strands of wool yarn. Once felted, Friendly Yeti’s face and hands become fully felted and nicely formed, while her body remains soft and cuddly. Her features are detailed post-felting with simple embroidery. Her eyes can be either plastic safety eyes or embroidery (for children under 3).
