Handmade Needle Felt Sheep Decoration

Meet Suzie cute little needle felt sheep decoration. She is handmade from natural wool with handspun wool dangly legs and a fluffy woolly fleece. She hangs from a length of natural jute twine. This little needle felt sheep would make a sweet little gift for anyone who loves sheep and rustic handmade crafts. She will be sent in a little cardboard gift box so she would make a lovely pressie!

Size – Suffolk sheep is approx 9.5cm in length nose to tail and 6cm high. Her total hanging length with string is approx 18cm

The process: Suzie the sheep is made with a process called needle felting – the wool is shaped and sculptured and repeatedly stabbed with a special barbed needle causing it to felt and become very hard. More wool is lightly felted to the base to create the woolly coat and details added. Suzie’s body is made with just wool from a sheep called Mango and Patch the dark brown/grey wool is from Xena who sadly passed away in 2023.

All my needle-felted items are very solidly felted with carefully added details. They are crafted with a lot of love and care. They are not rushed so they take a surprising amount of time to make not including the time spent shearing the sheep, washing the wool, carding, dyeing or spinning the little legs! This is a completely handmade product every wool element has been created by my hands and the flock at our farm in Wales – the sale of this item directly sustains the sheep it pays for their feed and upkeep of the land enabling the flock to live long happy lives here munching away growing wonderful wool.

Please note – This is NOT a children’s toy. It has been created for display and decoration purposes only. Do NOT give to babies and small children. It is has been carefully made and designed to be hung and admired and will not withstand rough play.

If you have any questions or queries at all please send me a message I will be happy to help.

You can meet the sheep who grow the wool here.

We keep a well-loved, high welfare flock of pet and rescue sheep on the Llyn Peninsular in North Wales. Our sheep are a part of the family and each is known by name. All our wool and makes are vegetarian-friendly as we do not breed or sell sheep for the meat market and our sheep live out their natural lives with us. I am a full-time mum and shepherdess. In my (none existent!) free time I make things from wool from the sheep in order to sustain them.
