The natural urchin
Natural wool and addition of raised wool before felting adds depth. Reinforcing the ribs is done with green chenille yarn and fun fur yarns. Half moon shells give it an armor against predators. Reindeer moss added to the top hides the orb below. Four flanges at the top are like eyes. Additionally wool yarns once Read more
