Felted Pumpkins

Just in time for fall!  We went to Rhinebeck’s Sheep and Wool Festival and saw lots of felted pumpkins.  We chose some roving and went to work!

I used scrap wool to felt the basic shape of the pumpkins, and then covered that with the beautiful orange variegated merino wool to create the ribs of the pumpkins.

I wrapped wool around pipe cleaners and felted it a little to keep its shape, and then wound the wool-covered pipe cleaner around my finger to make the tendrils.

God bless, Rebekah
