- Juried Artist Member, The Best of Missouri Hands
- Dedicated to hand-felting colorful, highly textured, useful wool felt objects, well crafted and suitable to their purpose and to your delight.
- We use local, other domestic and foreign wool breeds to suit the uses to which they are put.
- Merino and other fine breeds such as Blue-faced Leicester, Cormo, Rambouillet/Merino, Romney/Merino and other fine breed crosses are used for the ground felt, while the lustrous and extravagantly coiled locks of the Wensleydale, Blue-faced Leicester, and Lincoln sheep provide embellishments along with various yarns and open-weave silk or cotton fabric.
- For long-term protection all items have been permanently moth-proofed.
