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.

Sloths are all the rage these days! And while this Sloth Puppet may move a bit slower than your average puppet, she is just as much fun. Knit in the round with an eyelash yarn and a wool yarn held together, she is felted in a washing machine. Her eyes are installed, and her face and claws embroidered post-felting.
