A felted wool figure – Mine elf Perkmandlc

A great souvenir from Idrija, this naughty mine elf Perkmandlc is handmade in needle felting technique. Made of Slovenian Alpine carded and home-made wool.

Metka enjoys dry felting. She says this is something for her soul and a relaxation after a hard day at work. She found the idea for her product in the natural and cultural heritage of Idrija and in her childhood memories of her grandmother telling her stories about this fairy-tale creature, the mine elf Perkmandlc who has been rousing her imagination ever since.
