Wool Embroidered Heart Ornament

Make a cozy and cute heart embroidered with wool yarn and stitched onto a piece of curly sheepskin from the instructor’s own flock. Learn how to work satin and stem stitch “in the hand” on washed wool fabric, as well as how to assemble the finished ornament. The heart is approximately 3.5” wide and perfect for hanging up on a tree, doorknob, or as a gift for the holiday season.
