Gnoel

Gnoel runs a scented candle workshop. At this time of year, he loves to combine cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves in his favourite festive candle - Put A Bow On It. He is working on a woodsmoke and nutmeg candle he plans to call Stockings By The Fire.

A handsome, larger gnome, Gnoel is a great gnome for mantlepieces or porch displays. He’s a great first project for stranded colourwork - after all, wonkiness is gnominess!
