If you are allergic, don't even try working with the wool. It gets everywhere in tiny dust-like pieces when you cut it. Use up your old fleece tops and sweatshirts instead. They work just as well, and sometimes the inside texture of the shirt makes a great softie outside.

Yes I agree. If wool is an issue try cotton sweaters, fleece, even quilt cotton will work. The wool fibers get everywhere, starting in your laundry room and all over your cutting surface and in your sewing machine. Plus stuffed creatures are made to cuddle, so you don't want them to make your eyes itch.

they are VERY cute. I love the cat. (i think it's a cat?) If only i weren't allergic to wool. I can still make them and give them away.

You could do it with cotton sweater but they fray and roll so I don't usually use them. One the plus, they are not itchy and they come in a better variety of colors and designs. The cat is a new design I am still working out the quirks, she has multiple parts and she won't stand up unless I mess with her feet.
