Needle punch/needle felting -- whatever you want to call it -- it is beautiful, fun and easy to do! The one on the bottom is a needle punched pillow and the top one is the same design but a larger scale -- a wall hanging. The wall hanging is not complete.

These two projects were inspired by a watercolor my daughter, Katie, did for her art class in college. It is easy to take a picture and recreate it on wool! You should give it a try.

This is a patchwork rag rug made up of 12 hotpad size rag rugs, sewn together. There is no limit to the size rug you can create!

This rug is 100% cotton and sells for $120.


Woolderness is now carrying "SHEPHERD'S WOOL." This yarn is spun right here in Michigan at the Stonehedge Fiber Mill in East Jordan. Debbie also processes all my wool for me and does a great job?

Shepherd's Wool is 100% merino (wool) and you must hand wash your items after they are knitted or they will shrink. It doesn't get much softer than merino.

Shepherd's Wool comes in finger and worsted weight in a wide variety of colors.
