Australian Bird Finger Puppets

Our felt is made from 100% wool, a naturally resistant material protected by the lanolin that surrounds individual wool fibres, repelling moisture and dirt.

For liquid spills-
Wool is naturally water repellent and if spills are dealt with quickly, the wool won’t absorb much liquid.
How to clean-
Dab liquid up with damp cloth, repeat with clean damp cloth, let article dry.

For dust and other dirt-
If the article is large and flat, it can be vacuumed.
If the article is smaller and soiled, gently hand wash in lukewarm water using wool soap.
-Dry away from direct sunlight.
-Do not agitate the article too much during washing as it will promote further felting.
-DO NOT soak, machine wash or put anything in the dryer. This will shrink and distort the item.
-Stuffed toys will take a longer time to dry so make sure the items are fully dry before using them again. It is advised that they be surface cleaned rather than immersed in water.
