#BestFeltedFriends #Pride #QueerArtist #CraftSky #Otters
Atop bright green grass on a sunny day, are two needle felted otters made from a dark brown sheep’s wool. They lay with their heads almost touching, their bodies creating a triangle arch-like shape. They’re each laying on their backs, tails outstretched, back paws pointing toward the sky, and between their front paws, each of them holds a tiny rock felted with all the colors of the rainbow.

These intrepid travelers making their way across the table and into the lush spring grass were made by Lupin. 🐢

A pair of needle felted mossy green turtles with grayish brown shells are standing on top of a metal table. They’re set slightly askew, their little black eyes seeming to watch each other and also look out into the distance.

🥳 Happy birthday Grackle! He’s our gregarious guy, and he generously tests out these cat toys. 🐟🎣🐠 Lupin puts a bell inside for a nice jingle, you can sprinkle some catnip on them, and each one is Grackle approved!

A black cat with bright green eyes is wearing a pink harness and leash. He is sitting on bright green grass with two felted yellow Koi fish with orange spots resting on either side of him. He looks very pleased with himself.

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day;
Little kitten wants to play. ☔️

If you’re bummed about the weather, we hope this tiny loaf cat with heterochromia cheers you up. 😺 Summer’s here, and all the rain will help everything grow big and strong!

#BestFeltedFriends #HeterochromiaCat #FiberArts
Laying on a grassy lawn is a small needle felted cat. It’s all white, with small black lines for its mouth, it’s left eye is yellow, and it’s right eye is blue. Its paws are tucked close together, in a classic loafing position, with its tail sticking straight out behind it.

On a sunny afternoon, a black unicorn finger puppet with a rainbow mane is being worn by someone with their finger sticking up in the middle of the frame. The unicorn’s arms stick out slightly in either direction as if it’s doing a happy wiggle. A metal chain link fence, grass, and a bit of the city street is visible in the background.

This was Lupin‘s first attempt at a needle felted container, and he’s pretty thrilled with how it turned out. This shark would be happy on a bookshelf, a desk, or a nightstand.

And now, we hope all of you will join us in taking a big bite out of 2026! 🥳 happy new year!

We met this adorable lady at Drumlin Farm’s Woolapalooza event this morning. She’s a Romney-Corriedale cross, which gives her fleece fantastic features from both breeds. 🧶

We think she looks like a Wisteria or a Petunia. 🐑 Very sweet. Very soft. 100% cutie. 💜

#BestFeltedFriends #Sheep #Wool
Close-up of a white sheep with very fluffy, curly hair do on the top of her head, with bits of hay, seeming like speckles all over her back. The same white sheep is standing in her pen and receiving pets from Lupin, a white trans guy with curly brown hair in a braid, wearing a dark tan coat and gray wool gloves.

It’s a Water Bear! It’s a Moss Piglet! It’s a Tardigrade! This typically microscopic extremophile was felted by Lupin who’s fascinated by these veracious omnivores who’d be super scary if they were us sized, and not smaller than a poppy seed.

#BestFeltedFriends #Tardigrade #BlindArtist #FiberArts
Standing atop a gray fabric is a needle felted tardigrade. It’s body is white, and its eyes and legs are dark purple. It’s body has four spherical segments with a pair of triangular legs attached to each, while it’s head is more of a conical shape with a Pointy snout that curves down toward the ground, as if searching for food.

Beneath a blue pop-up tent is the table for Best Felted Friends. on one side of the green velvet tablecloth is a needle felted sign with print letters. Finger puppets representing storybook characters and other animals. In the middle of the table is a selection of bats and other blind creatures, with a three tiered wooden display case, housing, dragons, sharks, cows, and more. Than there is a sign spelling out Best Felted Friends in braille with buttons.

Nina has made these larger than ones you would see fluttering around any night blooming Jasmine or other strongly scented white flowers in your garden during the evening, but that just means there’s more to love.

On a scale of one to ten, we rate this shetland sheep… 100. Easy. Obviously. No other possible choice. This little buddy hopped up to say hi to Nina while we were at the Massachusetts Sheep and Woolcraft Fair this past May, and we still talk about them a lot. Wouldn’t you?

#BestFeltedFriends
Nina, a short curly brown haired human, wearing a gingham patterned dress, denim jacket, and carrying an abundance of tote bags filled to the brim with wool roving and yarn, is leaning over to pet a black Shetland sheep, which is standing on its back legs braced against a metal fence to say hello. Light suffuses the space, the wooden walls and metal fences of other animal pens visible in the background.
