and now with hats!





Birdies have been selling like mad so I've been restocking like mad! Stick stick stab with the felting needles and so the wee birds evolve...



This is the most recent one using some Harrisville roving I got from Webs (yarn.com). I like this kind of roving for felting, the staple length is really short and it's not combed for spinning easily. The Fiber Trends kits and most of the other rovings are really nice and smooth with a pretty long staple so when you poke the wool in in one place you can actually feel it pulling out in another.

Okay those are absolutely too cute for words.

Too bad we don't live closer, I have 11 pounds of undyed roving that I haven't done anything with. I bought it at a flea market for 20 bucks.

Yell if you want some

11 pounds?? That's got to be a bundle the size of a small pony! Sure I'll take some off your hands. If you want, send me some you want dyed and I'll do that next time I make a round of color happen.

Aren't the hats funny? My friend Sarah suggested it at on of our weekly art nights!
