“Every moment and every event
of every man's life on earth
plants something in his soul. ”
-Thomas
Merton
Our wish for you is that you plant seeds today to remind yourself:
what you are grateful for, who is grateful for you,
that you are brilliant, and that your uniqueness
is absolutely essential in this rainbow of life.

Tale Pumpkin Merino-Cross Batts!

We love this high-quality Finger Protector, tested (with trepidation)
in Living Felt R&D and found that this little tool REALLY works
well!
Highly recommended for the novice and professional alike.
Protect your valuable hands. Felting needles are very sharp and this
is
a great way to keep your fingers safe and healthy while you have fun!
Needle Felting Finger Protector
LIVING FELT Brand Super Premium CW-1™ Core Wool Fiber for needle felting.
You will absolutely love
how quickly and easily this merino-cross core wool needle felts!
The fiber has the perfect crimp and provide a wonderful base for your
needle felting projects.
Many people use this core wool to create base shapes and then overlay
dyed
or bright white wool on top because it is so affordable. This wool DOES
contain vegetable matter
and does have a natural wooly scent. It is not meant as a clean top
surface wool.
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!
Made in the
U.S.A. from happy sheep raised on U.S. Farms. Farm-Fresh!
Color - Off White / Aged White / Undyed / Unbleached / Natural.
