Some of my items that are a big hit at Harvest Thyme Herbs shop are my needle felted items. These are fun to make and each is one of a kind ! I start them off with a base from old wool sweaters that have been shrunk and felted by accident (oops). I have collected these sweaters from friends and family. I guess I can say that their laundry mistakes are my gain but I always feel bad about their sweaters that can now fit a toddler . After the base shape is made the fun begins and the owls colors and body are needle felted with wool roving collected and purchased at our local farmers market
and yarn shops.If you get a chance to try your hand at needle felting be warned
it is addicting.After I'm pleased with my owl I cut another piece for the back and
this can be from the same sweater material or a piece of store bought felt then just
chose a stitch to attach it along with a ribbon for hanging or a pin back. I have also
adhered a magnet to the back for cute fridge magnets. You can never have to many
magnets on your refrigerator!
