Needle felting is an incredibly therapeutic craft and it is really easy to learn the basics. You get the wool into the shape you want such as a ball, then you stab it multiple times with the barbed needles. The needles push the fibres together felting them into place and creating a solid piece. You can then add details and join pieces together all using the felting needles (no sewing!) It sounds like magic but it really works!
I have been teaching needle felting for over 11 years now and have put all my knowledge and expertise into the photo step-by-step instructions meaning you can’t go wrong!
All of our kits are packed by hand by our small team in Dorset, UK. Each comes with high quality materials and tools including British wool which has been carefully picked for its needle felting qualities, stainless steel needles from Germany and a unique dense foam working surface that will withstand hours and hours of felting.
*The foam is needed to work on in order to protect your table or lap from the sharp needles! You also use it to help shape pieces and to make flat sections such as ears or wings. One piece will last you at least 20 projects so you only need to buy one (hence why it’s an add on and not included with every kit!)
Please note this kit contains very sharp needles and adult supervision is recommended for anyone below 14 years of age.
You will also need:
- Foam block working surface (optional extra to add when ordering)
