Custom, 6 or 9 inch, hand felted gnome.
What we're made from
Base:
All gnomes have a base of core wool with a small wire to allow the hat to bend.
Most gnomes sit on a thin wood disk to allow free standing. Ornaments include a string for hanging and may or may not include a wooden disk. See item description for specifics.
Hats:
The hats are made from blends of different wools, natural and man-made fibers. These fibers include Merino wool, Firestar, Bamboo, Cotton, Wensleydale locks, Blue Faced Leicester, Chevoit wool, Corriedale wool, Tussah Silk, Angelina Fiber, Trilobal, Nettle, soya silk, banana fibers, recycled sari silk, rose fiber, cotton, linen, hemp and many more.
Most of the plant fibers and locks have been hand dyed.
Locks:
Locks are purchased from a rare breed sheep farm in the UK that rears their sheep for their locks. www.homefarmwensleydales.com I buy these locks raw so that I may wash and process them myself. I use eco friendly, unsented soap for washing. Locks are hand-dyed using natural or acid dyes.
For more information on the creation process please see my About Page.
