Zebra | Original Needle-Felted Wool Sculpture

Sale price$950.00

He was simply “the zebra” when I made him. I created him as the teaching example for our 2026 Needle Felting Safari here in Fort Ransom, North Dakota. The group gave him the name Steve, and that’s who he’s been ever since.

Steve began as loose wool from our North Dakota flock. I sculpted him by hand with a barbed felting needle. Each time the needle passes through the wool, it catches a few fibers and draws them together. Little by little, the wool becomes firm enough to hold a shape, from the curve of his neck to the tips of his ears.

His stripes were a project of their own. Once I had his shape, I felted the black wool into place a stripe at a time. Up close, you can see how narrow the stripes are around his eyes and muzzle, how they widen as they wrap around his ribs, and how fine they become again just above his hooves.

For years I’ve kept my finished animals here so visitors could see them in person. I’ve decided it’s time for a few to find new homes. The zebra pictured here is Steve himself, the one-of-a-kind original our Safari group named.

I’m Teresa Perleberg, a fiber artist and shepherd. I started Bear Creek Felting in 2008 to share what I make with wool from our sheep. My work on a sculpture begins long before I pick up a needle. On our North Dakota farm, I select sheep for the qualities in their fleece that make it good for sculpting. After shearing, we wash and card the wool in our small mill in Fort Ransom. That’s where Steve’s wool came from.

From Our Flock to Your Hands 

At Bear Creek Felting, our story begins on our North Dakota sheep farm, where I've been carefully breeding sheep for their felting wool since 2005. From choosing the right breeding stock to caring for our flock, every decision is made with wool quality in mind.

Just a few miles from the farm, we wash, dye, and card our wool in small batches at our Fort Ransom fiber mill. It's a hands-on process that allows us to pay close attention to the quality of the fiber we share with you.

Whether you're creating your first needle-felted animal or adding to a growing collection, my goal is to provide beautiful materials and tools that make your felting experience a joy.
