Description
This is a set of three little mice, each one felted from 100% wool in a soft brown and dressed for a winter night. One wears a pompom hat and a fluffy front and carries a candle in its holder; one, in a patterned hat and long scarf, hugs a wrapped parcel tied with string; the third has a patterned scarf, a tiny lantern and a long tail curling behind. Each mouse is 6cm long, 4cm wide and 11cm tall, a good size for a tree decoration: big enough to spot among the needles, small enough to tuck onto a slim branch.
They are made for Christmas: a loop of string at the top of each lets you hang them from a branch, a wreath or a garland along the mantelpiece. Hung together, the three tell a little story, one with a candle, one carrying a present and one with a lantern to light the way. They suit the family tree in the living room, a smaller tree on a hallway table or a bare branch in a vase. They make a thoughtful gift for anyone who collects tree decorations: tie one to a wrapped present as a topper, and it moves to the tree once the paper is off.
Felting works wool fibres together until they mat into a dense, soft surface that holds its shape, which is how each mouse keeps its rounded ears, small feet and slender tail. The finish is felted, so the texture is fuzzy rather than smooth, and the brown wool has the slightly mottled look of real fibre. The hats, scarves and little extras are part of each figure, so there is nothing to add before hanging. For styling, give each mouse its own branch at eye level, where the details are easiest to see, and pair them with plain glass baubles or paper stars so the felt texture stands out.

Frequently Asked
What are these mouse decorations made from?
Each mouse is made from 100% wool with a felted finish, which gives the soft, slightly fuzzy texture across the body, ears and tail.
How big is each mouse?
Each mouse is 6cm long, 4cm wide and 11cm tall, a comfortable size for hanging on a Christmas tree, a wreath or a garland.
How many mice come in the set and are they all the same?
There are three in the set and each one is different: one holds a candle, one carries a wrapped present and one holds a little lantern.
How do they hang on the tree?
Each mouse has its own loop of string at the top, so it slips straight over a branch or can be tied to a wreath, a garland or a gift.
What colour are the mice?
The mice are brown, the colour of the felted wool, and each is dressed in a patterned winter hat, a scarf or both.
