We Felt More.

We're on our way to our friends at Purl Soho. They were super friendly when we were asking about materials, colors, and helps for creating the felties. They were interested in the final results, so we're going to reply.

There might be a change with the hanging loop. We like the same color strand, but may find a better and thinner solution.

In addition, we've made some good ways at La Casita Yarn Shop Café. Folks kinda went crazy (in a good way) when they saw the felties. They have loads of yarn in massive amounts and tucked away in the back is a counter with quiches and empanadas (I preferred the spinach). We hope to maintain a good relationship with them as they are a great community craft provider.

Finally... Felting Algernon

We went ahead and took a spin with felt. Algernon was down with modeling which we were grateful for b/c... everybody loves Algernon. Some needles, some scissors, some thread and a bit a glue (for the hanging loop) and look what came about?

This "felty" measures 5" from beak to tail; 3.25" from top to bottom; 1.25" thick (we won't say fat). The hanging loop is 3" from bird to tip of the loop, which gives Al plenty of options to hang from different things: hooks, mirrors, Christmas trees, handles, and long noses.

This is just a start. We have an Etsy shop set up and we'll be putting this felty and the others up really soon, so make sure to check us there!
