Such a fail Central England COOP I really expect better 😡
PVC is the worst type of plastic not recyclable & creates pollution in its manufacture
If degradable PVC = #microplastic
If alternative to PVC then say what it is or you are making #PVC look ok 🤦♀️

Finished a needle felted sleepy fawn. It’s not quite the same as the image on the kit but I’m happy with it.
Needle felting I only first tried last year, it’s very relaxing in a mindful way & there’s a lovely feeling when you finish it.
