Miss Piggy Muppet Inspired PREORDER Wool Fiber Batts or Braids for Spinning, Felting, & fun

It’s a most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational PREORDER! 

It’s no secret, I am a huge fan of the work of Jim Henson, most especially The Muppets. My sister and I used to live for the times Nickelodeon would play The Muppet Show or specials and nearly wore out our recorded from TV (complete with some real classic Doublemint Gum and Domino’s ‘Noid’ commercials) copy of Muppets Take Manhattan.

Shortly after I started creating fiber supplies, Spin Alongs became popular in the early days of Ravelry and Flickr. At the time, I offered a “Henson Along” that I hosted in my ravelry group. Spinners could choose from any of four different Henson themed properties, but the character or concept from within was a surprise to them. 

I’ve been wanting to revisit these themes following my current practice and materials because while I don’t know that I can make millions of people happy, I’m hoping to enjoy myself and that it will bring others some delight as well. 

Each quarter I will be focusing on one of the four original themes I was inspired by. This first quarter, I will be focusing on The Muppets! (Tentative schedule for the remainder of the year: 2nd quarter - Fraggle Rock, 3rd quarter - Labyrinth, 4th quarter - The Dark Crystal

MISS PIGGY
The listing image is a mood board created using photos of the original batts and resulting handspun by the spinner who received them with images of the character(s) layered over them. These images are NOT the exact fibers you will receive, but rather to illustrate the concepts I will be drawing inspiration from. 

I have to say, Miss Piggy is over the top and I have always loved this about her. Most especially, I love classic Piggy in her purple satin and sash or the sparkle and flair of First Mate Piggy on Pigs in Space. Piggy is offered in two layered batt options filled with luxury.
