Wool Hand Puppet - wizard

Magical Merlin will weave any kind of magic their little hearts desire! Imaginative play is given endless possibilities with this gorgeous wizard puppet made of 100% natural wool. The colourful wizard 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 wizard 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, pig puppet, and pirate puppet, as well as other recycled wool animal puppets made from sweater scraps, story hand puppets and finger puppet sets.

More information:
This wizard hand puppet is a natural textile product and random inflections in the fabric can occur.

With sparkly stars on his hat, long woolly hair and a braided moustache, the detail on this quality wizard 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.
