Postal Arrangements
I will be posting my ‘Makes’ out to you Royal Mail 1st class within 2 days of purchase.
If you wish me to , I can send your gift directly to your recipient, fully gift wrapped at no extra cost.
*** Please note **** due to new government legislation to come into effect on the 13 December 2024, - EU’s General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)- I will no longer be posting to Northern Ireland after this date.
All of my makes are eco friendly and made to last from 100% wool felt and stuffed with washed wool fleece sourced from Yorkshire. I use DMC cotton thread to embroider folk patterns and stitches creating totally unique heirloom treasures.
The Garvle Goat is a traditional Christmas display put up every year since 1966 in the Castle Square of the city of Garvle in Sweden. The display is a giant version of a traditional Swedish Yule goat figure made from straw.
The unusual thing about the Garvle Goat is that it has been the subject of repeated arson attacks and the display has gone up in flames 38 out of the 57 years since its first appearance! The goat did survive last year but was burnt to the ground in 2021. These attacks have happened despite a nearby fire station and 24 hour round the clock security!
From the end of November there will be a live feed (just type Garvle Goat into Google and click on the city website) from cameras in Castle Square- so you too can watch over the goat. It has its own Wikipedia page with lots more interesting information …..
Will it survive intact this year?

Full description
This unusual Scandi Christmas felt yule goat hanging decoration is my representation of the Scandanavian Yule Goat.
Made from 100% wool felt and embroidered using red cotton thread, the Yule goat has a red harness with a little jingly bell attached. Popular throughout Scandinavia, no house would be without it’s own Yule Goat.
In Scandinavia people believed the Yule goat to be an invisible spirit that would appear during Advent to make sure the holiday preparations were done correctly.
See my ‘inspiration’ information about the Garvle Goat in Sweden.
Approx Dimensions
Height 12 cm from feet to the top of his horn
Width 10 cm from nose to tail
Although very cute and attractive to both adults and children, my makes are NOT toys. They are decorative accessories and as such have not been tested for toy safety.
Designed by Susie Parkinson-Wood in Lancashire
