Description
Peo is a pair of felted wool mice made to hang on the Christmas tree, sold as a set of 2 in red. Each mouse is shaped from 100% wool, felted to a soft, slightly fuzzy surface, and filled with 100% polyester for a plump little body. One wears a red knitted jumper with buttons down the front and carries a candy cane; the other has a striped knitted jumper and red trousers and holds a tiny bottle-brush tree. Both wear Santa hats topped with a pompom and have round ears, long tails and a small smiling face. The decorations measure 6cm long, 9cm wide and 13cm tall.
Each mouse has a hanging loop rising from the top of its hat, so it goes straight onto a branch. At 13cm tall they are easy to spot among baubles and lights without crowding them. Hang the two together on one branch, split them across the tree, or loop them over a wreath, a garland along the mantelpiece or a few bare twigs in a vase on the hall table. As a pair they make a thoughtful small gift for anyone who loves a traditional, characterful Christmas tree, or a cheerful addition to your own.
The finish is felted: the wool is worked until its fibres mat together, and wool felt has a dense, softly fuzzy texture that holds its shape well. The knitted jumpers add a second texture against it, with the candy cane and the little tree held in the mice's paws. The weight given is 0.036KG, so they hang lightly from even a slim branch. For the best effect, place them at eye level near the front of the tree, where their faces and jumpers can be seen, and give them a little space from larger baubles so they are not hidden.

Frequently Asked
What are the mice made from?
The mice are made from 100% wool with a felted finish, and they are filled with 100% polyester for a plump, rounded body.
How big are the decorations?
They measure 6cm long, 9cm wide and 13cm tall, a good size for a branch at eye level on the tree or on a wreath.
How many mice come in the set?
There are two in the set: one in a red knitted jumper carrying a candy cane, and one in a striped jumper and red trousers holding a tiny bottle-brush tree.
How do they hang?
Each mouse has a hanging loop rising from the top of its Santa hat, so it slips straight over a branch, a hook or the frame of a wreath.
Can I use them somewhere other than the Christmas tree?
Yes. They look just as cheerful on a garland along the mantelpiece, on a wreath or hung from a few bare branches in a vase, anywhere a loop can hang.
How heavy are they?
The weight given is 0.036KG, so they hang lightly and suit the slimmer branches of a tree as well as the sturdier ones.
