faux taxidermy knitting kits

Look, it’s all very ‘retro’ to have an animal head mounted to the wall of your house or drinking establishment – but it’s cruel as heck to think that those creatures were shot for that purpose, isn’t it? Not to mention a tad creepy. Which is why we’re a little bit infatuated with these animal head knitting kits from Sincerely Louise, aka Louise Walker. The Brixton-based lass specialises in faux taxidermy (not a profession you hear of every day, that’s for sure), and sells a smorgasboard of DIY kits with everything you need to stitch up your very own forest friends (including super-chunky yarn, stuffing, backing board and knitting needles). Oh, and they’re 100 per cent cruelty-free. Nice one.
