Wool Hand Puppet - pig

Little pig, little pig, let me play with you! Imaginative play is given endless possibilities with this gorgeous pig hand puppet made of 100% natural wool. The slightly quirky piggy 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 the pig 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: dog puppet, wizard puppet and pirate puppet, as well as other recycled wool animal puppets made from sweater scraps, story hand puppets and finger puppet sets.

This pig hand pupppet is a natural textile product and random inflections can occur.

With heavily decorative stitching on the ears, a flower in the mouth and even a tongue, the detail on this quality pig 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 works of art - they have soul and feeling purely because a real person sat there and created this product.
