As the holiday rush of orders for felted wool blankets and llama ornaments begins to slow, the interest in our felted wool snow buddies begins to ignite. Using clean, beautiful, sheep wool, we needle-felt snuggly snow buddies of all sizes in various matching hat and scarf sets to help them ward off the winter winds.
I’m never sure who loves the amazing-to-hold snow buddies more: the adults: or, the children!! When we are at the fall festivals with our woolen snow buddies, passers-by can’t resist entering the booth to touch, hug, snuggle, and beg whoever is holding the money for one! (smiles)
The smallest snow buddy is 3″ and just the right size to be an ornament for the Christmas tree. Our largest is almost the size of a small child (smiles) and stands 24″ tall.
It is without a doubt the wool that makes these creations so wonderful to touch. Unlike their icy doppelgangers, which are cool and sharp on the hands, these snow buddies are incredibly soft and delightful to hold. I have had several customers who have bought them for themselves, but their children have claimed them for their own. When they have thought them to be “lost”, they have later “found” them tucked into bed! It’s heart-warming stories like these which compels me to continue creating.
So, while the real snowflakes continue to fall outside and I work inside, I ask again, “Do you wanna build a snowman?” (smiles – for those of you who had to endure listening to FROZEN played a few times!)
