needle felted these delightful teddies in 2005, after attending
a course to learn the skill. These charming figures
each have their own personality!
Wool fibres felt readily with felting needles
but we were surprised when she showed us the teddy created

are cut at an upward angle, so that fibres catch in the
notches, and carry into the mass. When the needle is
retracted, the fibres stay in place,
