Our Gnome of the Year Kit was created in order to share our love for needle felting fantasy creatures in all their many variations.
The 2020 gnome of the year is a tribute to the endangerment of honey bees. Honey bees are critical to our food supply, so we are using this year's gnome of the year to bring awareness to them, and their importance to us all. This sweet little gnome is holding one of his honey bee friends and keeping him safe.
Get this limited edition kit before it's gone, and keep an eye out for the next edition gnome of the year!
