Felt Folk Puppets
These beautiful puppets were designed and hand made in Ireland by Jean. Each puppet is made with pure Merino wool and the clothes are made from felt and recycled silk. The puppets have very fine movements and are all completely individual. They made their debut at the Wexford Opera Festival 2012!
Artesano Definition Sock yarn. 75% Merino
The new Artesano Definition Sockyarn arrived here finally yesterday after a 2-month wait! It is beautifully spun for maximum stitch definition for all knit and crochet projects. Really amazing colours which is no surprise from Artesano. Ideal for kids clothes also. It is a blend of machine washable Merino wool (for softness) and 25% polyamide for strength. It comes in 100g hanks which are each 400m long so most sock and small projects can be made from one hank. There is also pattern support with sock patterns and accessories. This yarn is also ideal for children’s garments, being soft and strong. In short, a really versatile yarn.
