Felt & Threads
I get all of my felt from Benzie Design. They have awesome curated felt palettes of assorted colors with coordinating embroidery floss. These have a pre-selected set of colors that look great together and include the white and tan you’ll need for faces and mustache/beard. I recommend choosing from one of the options below.
BE SURE to add BOTH the 9×12 sheets and the embroidery floss to your cart.
