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!

felting, felting, felting...

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