Our Visit to a Karakul Sheep Farm, Let's Get Felting!



"Sunny Side Up" Hand Felted Pin Cushion

 We had a special opportunity to visit a local farm in that is home to an endangered species of sheep called Karakul. There are only 2,000 remaining Karakul sheep in the United States and their blood line dates back to biblical times. These hearty animals give amazing variations of wool textures and colors – excellent for felting and using in outerwear garments. As soon as we got home I began designing some new pin cushions.  I am not sure why but breakfast seemed to be my inspiration for these projects!
