Denise: This new kit went into the ‘garden shop’ a few days ago, but other matters intervened and it’s only today that we’ve got round to putting it online, on the Hebridean Woolshed website.  We don’t call them Uist Felted Purses because the design originates here in Uist. No, it’s because the wool is grown here in Uist. Some customers seem to find it difficult to chose between the black Hebridean and the white of the Cheviot. This kit solves that problem neatly: both wools are used in the one design! J asks what these purses can be used for. What a silly question! Only a man … !!!  Unfortunately he doesn’t seem ready to accept a withering look as a sufficient answer, so – just to humour him – we’ve staged a couple of photos to help men in need of both a present for their partners!  Unfortunately adding these photos means I have also to add the note that the kits do not include the contents!  Anyway, if you’re interested, you’ll find all the details on our Hebridean Woolshed website.
