They look like those coffee can and yarn christmas card holders we made as kids.
Do they itch?
I would gladely welcome the comeback of cashmere, wool, and angora in womens cloathing, thinking back fondly to the SweaterGirl look of a time long past - but in bracelets?
I have a bird toy hanging in my parrot’s cage that looks just LIKE that. Buster setting a fashion trend? Who knew??

Speaking of Wool enjoy these little video. FUNNY

I always liked the lead singer. I’d go out with her again in a heartbeat.
I sort of like them. I make some felted soap out of wool and it doesn’t itch at all.
Hot.
