Wool Hand Puppet - dog

This is one old dog keen to learn new tricks, if you use your imagination! Imaginative play is given endless possibilities with this gorgeous dog puppet made of 100% natural wool. The slightly quirky dog design features minimal stitching in its construction. It is wet felted in one piece, then some of the decoration is sewn on. This technique makes this dog puppet stronger with less likelihood of breakage or something falling off even after hours of play. Created using fair labour paying fair wages. Made by hand in Nepal.

Also available: pig puppet, wizard puppet and pirate puppet, as well as recycled wool animal puppets made from sweater scraps, story hand puppets and finger puppet sets.

More information:
This dog hand puppet is a natural textile product and random inflections can occur.

With stringy whiskers and stitching around the mouth, nose and ears, the detail on this top quality dog hand puppet is outstanding.

Felting is the bonding together of wool fibres, using hot water and soap. It is a deceptively simple process with astounding possibilities.

The difference between commercial (synthetic) felt and handmade wool felt is enormous: the feel and look and therefore appeal is totally different. The wool felt takes the dyes beautifully, a warm and rich vibrant look that the synthetic stuff just doesn't have.

Less than ten years ago, there was no felt industry in Nepal, now there are many manufacturers and workers making a living out of this craft work.

We think handmade products are really mini pieces of artwork - they have soul and feeling purely because a real person sat there and created this product.
