Bookworm Ornament

The Bookworm Who Graduated

A bespectacled worm in a mortarboard, emerging triumphantly from a green felt book. Hand-stitched and embroidered by women artisans in the remote regions of Kyrgyzstan — craftspeople who carry on traditional felting techniques and have limited access to wider markets. Silk Road Bazaar works directly with these communities to provide sustainable income and preserve their craft.

Details

• Approximately 10–13cm in length
• Handmade felted wool with hand-stitched and embroidered details
• Hanging cord included
• Handcrafted in Kyrgyzstan by Silk Road Bazaar artisans
• Natural fibres, eco-friendly production

A Note on Handmade

Because each ornament is made entirely by hand, there will be small variations in colour, size, and finish between pieces — and the item you receive may differ slightly from the photos. These aren’t flaws; they’re the mark of something genuinely made by a person, not a machine.

Perfect For

• The reader whose Christmas tree should reflect their actual personality
• A gift for a bookish friend who will appreciate the craft as much as the joke
• Year-round display for anyone who considers “bookworm” a compliment
