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.

I have been having so much fun with this project! Snowmen Wobblers do just as their name says- push them over, and they wobble back up! The last photo is a gif to show the wobbler in action. So how does it work? An internal weight is sewn inside. Simple to make, the wobblers are knit in the round from the bottom up with a double strand of worsted weight wool yarn. Before they are closed at the top, an internal weight is installed, and they are stuffed with fiberfill. They are then felted in a washing machine, with eyes, buttons and arms embroidered post-felting.
