Puppet materials

Often shaving puppet fleece is necessary if pilling begins to show...

When dying fleece I generally use Aljo dyes as they are a professional grade dye which offers richer colors and less time in the dye bath. RIT dye is generally ok for simple base colors, however with puppets such as Kermit the frog or Ernie and Bert, a higher grade dye is best to achieve ultimate color tones.

However, Jim Henson himself always said that he came up with the word "Muppet" because he liked the sound of it.
