A great choice for an avid knitter, felter or farmer! American Tunis is a heritage breed w/ beautiful cream wool & a striking red head & legs. We love them so much we raise a flock here on the farm! Choose your sheep with or without a bow. OR get one of each!!

DESIGN DETAILS: I was fortunate to find a sweater that matches the beautiful, distinct coloring Tunis have on their face's & legs. The sheep's body is carefully depicted using a very thick, cable knit cream colored sweater to further emphasize both knitting & the fluffiness of this docile wool breed sheep.

SEWING PROCESS: All of my potholder/ovenmitts are handmade from recycled wool sweaters. Although many consider them "works of art" & choose to merely hang them in their kitchens as decor- they really are made & intended for actual use. To ensure high heat resistance & extra durability- I sew each potholder/ovenmitt at least layers thick; I thoroughly felt all the sweaters & every seam is double stitched. Designs are also created using from the sweater scraps & sewn w/no less than double stitching. These extra considerations help them maintain their detailing even if you wash them- on cold & air dried flat.

POTHOLDER OPTION: 8"x8" w/ durable loop for hanging.

OVENMITT OPTION: I sew all of my ovenmitts as a "pinch grip" ovenmitt style. Although more complex to make, a "pinch grip" mitt allows for easy use on either hand. Additionally, I sew every ovenmitt's design & handle loops congruently, so unlike other oven-mitts - a Fat Tomato Designs piece is NOT upside down when hung up in your kitchen!

CARE DIRECTIONS: Wash cold- air dry flat.
