the "Pombomb" by Tait & Style

This is the most adorable felted ball.
it was made by "Tait & Style" in Stromness, Orkney, Scotland.
It has the most
wonderful dense-yet-soft feel to it. Soft to touch,
dense to squeeze. it is actually touted as a pin cushion,
and oooh, that's exactly what i wanted it for.

to be honest, i haven't actually USED it yet as
a pin cushion. it's still sitting here on my desk.
It is doing an important
job of looking cute, colourful and clever every day.

i've never felted anything before. Well, not on purpose that is.
i'd like to try felting...
just not yet. Mittens to make.
