Handcrafted Raccoon Felt Ornament
This adorable Raccoon can be used as a Christmas ornament, for home decoration, or as a children's toy. It is hand-made from 100% wool and measures approximately 2.5" high.
The ornament is made by dry-needle felting, a technique that transforms un-spun wool into sculptured creations, such as animals or birds. The felted product has an outer layer of scales, giving its strands a jagged edge. This allows the fibers to become entangled when a barbed needle is repeatedly inserted into the ball of wool. Each product has a small cotton string that can be used to hang the product.
The Raccoon was made by an indigenous woman participating in The Spectacled Bear Conservation Society's alternative livelihood program that helps create sustainable economic opportunities for women in critical spectacled bear habitat in northwestern Peru.
