Jumbo Felted Brown Deer | Rust Sweater & Fishing Pole

This charming woodland character, Jumbo Felted Brown Deer, is dressed in his cozy Rust Sweater and armed with a Fishing Pole and has clearly taken the day off from forest duties to pursue more leisurely activities. This delightfully whimsical handcrafted piece features a golden-tan deer complete with magnificent branching antlers, dressed in a vibrant orange sweater layered over cream trousers, a fluffy white scarf, and tiny boots—plus he's carrying an actual miniature fishing pole with a purple catch dangling proudly from the line. Whether greeting guests at the front door, adding personality to seasonal decor, or adorning a cabin mantel year-round, this artisan-made treasure proves any time is the perfect time for a fishing trip.

Each item is handmade of 100% wool from New Zealand through the ancient technique of felt making. By adding warm soapy water to wool and then pressing and rubbing, the fibers will tighten into a felted textile material. Gradually, as the fibers are tightening together, the items are shaped into their final form - flower, heart, bird, etc. Once it is dried, it is ready for its final embellishments.
