In
the Spring of 2006, three Orcas Islanders gathered the necessary
ingredients: a heap of wool, copious quantities of imagination,
and four (now five) enthusiastic product-testers (as well
as three supportive though slightly bewildered husbands).
And so the adventure in wool -- washing, picking, carding,
dyeing and finally felting -- began. Bossy's Feltworks was
born!
The
premise of Bossy's Feltworks is to bring natural, unique
and handmade toys to children and adults alike. We take
great pride in being a homegrown business....from its beginning
in the sheep pasture to selling our wooly goods to Bossy
fans at the local farmer's market. Bossy's Feltworks is
but one facet of our island life... but it is a joyful one!
Bossy at work:

loving
up the sheep...

picking...

carding...

dyeing...

felting,
felting, felting...

Waa-lah!
We love it all, from start to finish!
