Super
Premium CW-1™ Core Wool Fiber for needle felting!
You will absolutely love
how quickly and easily this core wool needle felts!
The fiber has the perfect crimp and will provide a wonderful base
for your needle felting projects. Many people use it to create base
shapes
and then overlay dyed wool on top because it is so affordable.
We have specially sourced
this fiber for its wonderful quality
and supreme needle feltability! We know you are going to love it as
much as we do!

MISSION
#1:
OPERATION BUNNY DROP
Please join us in crafting simple but sturdy soft bunnies
for the children in Japan who are recovering
from the recent natural disasters.
We are working with a group
in Japan who will distribute simple, hand-crafted
bunnies to the children. Liz Minnick, one of our Peace Felt 2010 participants,
is in Japan now and will be taking the bunnies where they are most needed.
Bunnies must be mailed by May 13th, but CAN BE MAILED NOW!
Even
one bunny can help bring a smile
and touch a child's heart.
free pattern by Hillary Lang
The bunnies
should be a maximum of 10" tall, sturdy but soft,
and with no small parts such as buttons, beads or yarns that could become
a choking hazard. You can felt or sew your bunny, free patterns
are on the facebook page.
Please
refer friends to our
CRAFTS WITH PURPOSE web page
and share your pictures and comments on
our CRAFTS
WITH PURPOSE facebook page.
Just
24 hours after launching this project, over 220 bunnies
had been pledged by loving crafters from the UK, US, Canada,
The Netherlands, Germany and The Czech Republic!
We can accept 2500 bunnies!
(Over
550 bunnies pledged so far.)
