Happy Halloween!

Above is a needle felted pumpkin created by our our 4 and a half year old daughter with a little help. And a more traditional pumpkin below designed by our daughter and made by her dad. We hope the day brings lots of creativity and treats

As it is starting to cool down, we have Halloween to plan and look forward to. Here is a needle felting video tutorial of how to make a ghost wearing a witch’s hat with a pumpkin by flying mio. We are giving away free goody bags to make this needle felting project on website orders over £25 until the end of the month.

Other news this month we have now listed merino colours separately so you can get the colour you want. We also have the new vegan kit out this month which is a needle felting kit with bamboo fibre rather than wool. We also see a return of the wet felting fulling blocks to take some of the work out of finishing your wet felted items.
