The HeartForward Project: Easily Felted Wool Yarn and the Base Pattern
Felted Hearts
We're proud to support this fine effort to bring joy into people's lives with crafts. On this page, if you promise to make hearts for people who need a lift, you are welcome to pick up our Churchmouse At Home Felted Gingerbread Ornaments pattern for free. You'll still need the HeartForward adaptation which you can find on their website here.
We’ve found that Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted is an excellent choice for felting these hearts. To encourage you, we'll offer the skeins at 20% off. Thanks for joining this worthwhile effort!
