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 wouldn’t fall in love with Sally? She is soft, cuddly and always smiling. Knit in one piece without seaming, her body is knit from a worsted weight wool yarn held with an eyelash yarn, while her face and claws are knit with 2 strands of wool yarn. When she is felted in a washing machine, her face and claws will become fully felted, while her body will be lightly felted due to the eyelash yarn. That means she will remain soft and pliable, while her face and claws will be nicely formed. Her features are detailed post-felting with embroidery.

In the last photo, Sally is pictured with her friend, Louie Bear (pattern sold separately).

Also, a free pattern “Sally gets a Summer Dress” is available.
