Know before you buy
The pennant measures 9 inches by 27 inches, making it a standard size for wall displays.
It is crafted from durable wool felt, which provides a classic, textured look and feel.
The design is screen-printed onto the wool felt, ensuring the lettering and illustrations remain crisp and clear over time.
No, mounting hardware is not included. Because of the lightweight wool felt construction, you can easily hang it using small nails, thumbtacks, or adhesive strips.
We recommend gently using a lint roller or a soft-bristled brush to remove dust. Avoid getting the wool felt wet, as it may cause the material to lose its shape.
