Heirloom Wool Easter Eggs
Close to my house growing up there was a small, abandoned jewel-box of a train depot that my sister and I called the “Bunny House.” We imagined that it was the Easter Bunny’s off-season home, and even now that I’m the one filling baskets and hiding eggs, I still conjure those childhood daydreams of an enchanted white bunny gathering her Easter supplies from the train depot. And in these fantasies she is almost definitely carrying a basket full of these Heirloom Wool Easter Eggs!
Our Easter Eggs celebrate the season with embroidered wool felt flowers and beautiful details, and you can make your very own with Purl Soho’s Heirloom Wool Easter Eggs Kit, no magical bunnies required! It is available in two pretty palettes: Magnolia, a collection of soft pastels, and Zinnia, a bouquet of happy brights.
Whether your Heirloom Wool Easter Eggs hang from a spring branch or nestle inside a basket or are in the tiny paws of the Easter Bunny herself, they are sure to harbinger a very happy spring! -Corinne

Beautiful! Does the heirloom Easter eggs pattern template download also include complete instructions on how to create the flowers and the eggs? Thank you.
Hi Lisa,
The Heirloom Easter Egg pattern does include the templates and the full instructions on how to complete this lovely project!
Happy crafting!

Love these. They have beautiful detail. Will have to pin them for next year. Have my hands full this year with 4 boys under the age of 8.
These are just beautiful, I get so much inspiration from your emails. I would love to visit your studio someday. I just did a felt basket and it came out somewhat like this and I actually think this beauty was filed away in my memory.
Hi – I am a reader in England, and would love to make these, but can’t quite justify importing Dutch felt from the US with the customs and shipping costs! Would you be able to provide the manufacturer of the felt you sell so I can try to track them down in the UK? I can just buy your pattern in PDF and get crafting!
Thanks
Kate
Hi Kate,
Thanks for reaching out! Our wool felt is from Wollfilz, but I’m sure you could use any 100% wool felt that is 1mm thick for this pattern.
Best of luck and happy stitching!

Is the kit still available? I have tried to put it in my “basket”, but just the pattern comes up. If it is available, what is the price?
Hi Karen,
Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately the kit for this project has been discontinued and is no longer available – I’m so sorry about that! You can purchase all of the materials separately from the links in the Materials section above.
Best,
Julianna
Hi! I love these. Will the kit be coming back into stock at some point?
Hi Olivia,
Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, we no longer stock this kit – I’m so sorry about that! However, you can order the pattern and all the materials separately at the links in the materials section above!
Best,
Julianna
Hello, what colour of embroidery floss came with the kits? Thanks!
Hi Kris,
Thanks for reaching out. It looks like we used the color Ecru for the skein of embroidery floss!
All the best,
Lili
