At just 20 years old, Abigail stands out as one of Lumily's youngest and most talented artisan partners. Her remarkable craftsmanship and creativity shine through in our beloved wool animal collection, which she skillfully brings to life from her workshop.
The Art of Crafting Wool Animals
Abigail's journey into the world of artisanal crafts began under the guidance of family members who passed down their skills through generations. Today, she applies these age-old techniques with a fresh perspective to create each wool animal. The process is meticulous and rooted in tradition, involving spinning, dyeing, cutting, stuffing, and finally, embroidering the wool to give each animal its unique character and charm.
