New Felting Kit

Posted on

We are happy to bring a new felting kit out which offers a mix of natural and merino wools. This enables you to have the variety of textures and shades the natural undyed wool offers with the ability to add some colour with bright merino wools. This kit also includes safety finger guards which protects your fingers and enables you to work with small items or work on the edges of pieces without catching your fingers with the needle. The addition of glass eyes can bring a lifelike element to figures or animals.

We are also now including in all our needle felting kits (apart from the felted fruit kit) a 24-page felting guide with all the information you need to get started. Including the basic shapes you need to make what ever you would like from felting wool, what each needle in the kit is for and six step by step colour illustrated projects.
