It's hard to describe, but you only have to sink your fingers into natural wool to appreciate its magical qualities. It's a tactile experience that is not only appealing, but also sparks creativity and imagination. This fine book offers many craft and project ideas using this delightful medium. The brightly colored photographs are inspiring in themselves! The first part of the book deals with creating wool pictures, including techniques and many examples of classic stories. Next are projects for making woolen dolls, gnomes and animals, some with a wire substructure that gives them flexibility. The last chapter gives practical advice and techniques for using unspun sheep's wool in a group setting with young children and includes a puppet script. A motivational and useful addition to your craft library.

More Magic Wool: Creating Figures and Pictures With Dyed Wool
By Angelika Wolk-Gerche
Paperback, 79 pages
This one isn't a repeat of the first book in this series -- not at all! Instead it focuses more on creating small figures, toys and dolls, fairies and landscapes for a Seasonal Table. The projects are breathtaking, although very easy if you understand the basics of felting and winding wool. It also contains a short, but detailed section on dyeing wool using plants and other natural materials. (Even if you don't dye your own wool, you'll appreciate the process.) The hand-felted interactive play mats, complete with hidden spaces, are a completely new idea that children will enjoy using with their new felted animals and dolls. There are so many delightful ideas in this book, you and your children won't know where to start!

Making Fairy-Tale Wool Animals
By Angelika Wolk-Gerche
Hardcover, 80 pages
As the author points out in her introduction, "the figures created with unspun wool always have soft, slightly hazy edges and contours that are pleasing to the eye and to the touch. One views them as if through a soft-focus lens. They harmonize with one another but remain vivid, yet never obtrusive." What a beautiful description of the enchanting animals that can be created with this book! From household pets, to farm animals, to storybook animal characters, this book offers a comprehensive selection of projects. (Click on the book cover to see an enlarged photo of the front and back cover, showing more examples of finished projects.) In addition to step-by-step instructions and colorful photographs, games, songs and other activity suggestions are listed with each project! This is a wonderful book for the beginning or seasoned wool crafter or teacher. Recommended for ages 6 to adult. Also, techniques can be adapted for needlefelting, as well.

I am so excited about the new and imaginative possibilities that this book offers to wool crafters or dollmakers! Working with soft, unspun wool, you can create an array of fairy tale characters, such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel, Nils Holgersson riding on his Goose, the Star Maiden and so many more, twenty-six projects in all.

Wool Roving: The Hair Color Collection
Eight different true-to-life hair colors!
This 100% wool roving is excellent for small dolls or baby dolls when you want a truly natural look. The fibers are much finer than yarn, which makes the hair look “real.” It can be attached to your doll’s head in several ways: Sew down the center to create a part, then glue or sew onto the head; or needle felt it directly into your cloth doll’s head. It can be easily styled into braids or pigtails. (This is the type of hair we use on our tiny Flower Fairy dolls.) This collection of earthtones includes eight colors for all stages of life: Auburn (nutmeg), Black, Dark Brown (chocolate), Light Brown (cocoa), Redhead (pumpkin), Golden Blonde (camel), Aging Brunette (brick is a blend of the browns and auburn with light streaks of grey) and Silver-Gray (smoke). You will receive a 12” length of each color, for a total weight of 55 grams.

Bulky Felting Yarn/Pencil Roving Assortment
100% wool, over 90 feet in total length
A Silver Penny exclusive!
This is the most ingenious product because it has multiple uses for felting. This 100% wool bulky yarn is very loosely spun and, used directly from the package, is wonderful for needle or wet felting. But untwist it slightly and it becomes pencil roving. Twist just a little tighter and the yarn becomes thinner for more precise placement and crisp lines. The uses of this product are varied – it is perfect for clothing embellishment, creating wool pictures, fashioning or outlining a needle felted motif, making felted jewelry, enhancing 3-D needle felted sculptures or use when only a small amount of color is needed. This assortment package contains a total of more than 29 yards of nine beautiful, vibrant colors (approximately 3¼ yards of each): Black, White, Orange Poppy, Tundra Green, Bermuda Blue, Red Rose, Garnet, Iris and Violet.
Our low price is $4.89
