These eco-friendly queen bumblebee brooches are a sweet addition to an outfit and make lovely little gifts.

They are hand-crocheted with small pieces of British wool yarn (some of it organic and organically-farmed) left over from my crochet kits and larger commissions, and are stuffed with natural wool stuffing. A tiny amount of leftover cotton yarn is used to make the eyes. The whole item is plastic/synthetic-free.

Each bumblebee brooch is modelled on the queen of a different species present in the UK. They measure a rather larger-than-life approximate 5.5-6cm (2¼ inches) in length.

The brooches are smartly presented on a recycled card ready for gift-giving. The cards are cut from old cereal packets, greetings cards, etc and will be either ‘kraft’ brown or cream in colour with the original printing on the reverse.

Part of my Brooches with Benefits range: as well as helping me reduce waste, £1 of your purchase will be donated to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, working towards a world where bumblebees are thriving and valued by everyone.
