*These have been recommended to me by other crafters and some vendors have kindly sent me samples/color cards (shown in the photos), but I have not personally sewn with their felt nor purchased items from them. This list is intended as a reference for your convenience only. Please use the same diligence and discretion you would use with any internet or in-store purchase.

I've bought from Winterwood before and the felt is lovely quality and the service great and recently I ordered for the first time from Two Little Birdies and they were fabulous too , my parcel arrived really quickly Both great suppliers.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Germany and had a hard time finding a vendor in my own town, so I was pleased to find this one online. http://www.kleinetroll.de/DE-WEBsite/Home-de.htm Maybe it will help someone else too!
ReplyDeleteHey there! Thanks so much for sharing your German source for wool felt! That way I can pass it along if someone asks.
DeleteHello Larissa, I am so excited about your new bright colors for the 12 days ornaments, they are beautiful. I was wondering when will you post the last four - Emerald Colorway? I already purchased and made the gold and sapphire color story and I am anxiously waiting to start on the Emerald Colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you
Hey there! I’m so glad you like the colorways for Felt On the Fly! I am putting together the 5th and last sample in the Emerald colorway this week. I’ll have those photos available soon for inspiration, but actually Janet already sells the color bundle in her shop if you’d like to order...
DeleteI have a question about the hanging loop. Is there an alternative way you can suggest to sew it on so when the ornament hangs, it dosnt twist and turn out of place so much? Im not hanging them on a Christmas tree but a twig type tree where there arnt any other supporting branches to keep them in place.
ReplyDeleteHi, Dana! A faster way to get answers on pattern questions is via mmmcrafts.etsy.com. :-) Yes, instead of sewing the loop on from one spot, try sewing the loop down in two places, about 1/8" apart or even a bit further. I hope that helps!
DeleteAlso, just thought I'd mention you can skip using the floss loop and just sew a jump ring on that spot, or a small floss loop, then use a wire hook that you can adjust however you like. Just another option! :-)
DeleteThe Felt Factory in New Zealand https://www.thefeltfactory.co.nz sells lovely wool felt, wooden beads, pipe cleaners, Sulky Stick & Stitch and other useful stuff. I started off the Twelve Days ornaments with a kit from My Felt Lady in Australia and have supplemented since then with purchasing from The Felt Factory 🙂.
