Standing about 5 inches tall, this jolly needle-felted Santa features a roly-poly figure with a delightfully full, fluffy beard, rosy cheeks, and a cheerful nose like a cherry. Perfect for holiday decor or gifting, he brings festive cheer to any space!

Isn't his beard wonderful? It is Mohair from our Angora goats, Mike and Ike that live on our alpaca farm in Mansfield, Ohio. The stuffing inside this cute fellow is provided by our alpacas.

Needle felting is the process of repeatedly pushing a barbed needle into a tuft of fiber, agitating, compressing, and locking the fiber together into a more dense mass of fiber. In other words, it takes lots of poking! The last images show part of the process.

Please handle this art sculpture with care, it is not meant as a toy and may be a choking hazard for small children.

We now offer a Santa Needle Felting Kit if you'd like to try this yourself. Felting Kits also make fun gifts! If you're in our area, be sure to check out the Classes at Alpaca Meadows!
