Description

A YarnSnarler will never leave a ball of yarn alone until it is no longer a ball but a snarled mystery! They have the compulsion to tangle anything neat and orderly into an absolutely convoluted conundrum. Which is even more amazing when you realize that they don't have any limbs! Cute and cuddly in brightly coloured wool felt, these hand puppets have buttons for eyes so they may not be suitable for someone that still likes to take a nibble out of soft toys.

Custom made, YarnSnarlers range in height and width dependent on how long Knoggin Knitting feels like knitting that day. The stripes may vary according to the knitters attention span. They come in Barmy Blue, Yelling Yellow and Orange You Glad and, if you like, any combination thereof. YarnSnarlers could also come with needle felted eyes which are completely safe for people that like to nibble on soft toys.

As with all felted 100% wool items, you should wash your puppet by patting with a cold wet cloth. You can spot wash with a delicate fabric wash such as Woolite and cold water by hand. Never, ever put your felted hand puppet in a dryer as it will shrink to a rather weird size/shape and may not be recognizable any more. Instead, you can prop the hand puppet up with a drinking glass inside and let it air dry as I do when I shape the mouth. The drying wool will set in the position that you leave it so be sure to have the mouth indented. It's really low maintenance - do less than you think and it will be just right!

Warning, if you nibble on wool felt you may cough up hairballs!
