A Northwoods Gnome ~ Needle-felting Kit

Bring a little Scandinavian tradition to your home with a Northwoods Gnome!  Perfect for beginner level needle-felters, you don’t need prior needle-felting experience for this project.  This kit includes materials to make 1 Northwoods Gnome, OR 2 ornament sized Northwoods Gnomes (divide materials in half).

Choose from the complete kit which includes a foam pad and 2 felting needles, or just the fiber supplies if you already have your own tools (or want to make more than one!).  A step-by-step guide with photos is included.  

The Northwoods Gnome features Gotland roving for a unique shimmer & shine, and Gotland curls from our small flock of Swedish Gotland sheep here in the northwoods of Wisconsin.  In Sweden, these little guys are known as “Tomte” or in Norway as “Nisse”, short for “Nils” or St. Nicholas, and they are guardian spirits over the homestead.  Craft your own traditional nordic gnome or give a unique gift of making to a friend with our Northwoods Gnome needle-felting kit!
