Needle Felted Butterflies


I tried something new.
I bought a kit from Ewe Give Me The Knits.
The kit is made By Ashford and contains all you need to make these butterflies.
There was actually a lot more Corriedale wool sliver than needed so I have some extra to play with!


These little beauties didn't take long to make at all.


They have brooch pins on the back.


I find kits a really good way of having a go at something new.
Everything you need is in there so saves you trying to figure it all out for yourself.

Oh Tracy they are gorgeous and I had a good giggle at the name of the place you bought them - very clever!
