Detailed Instructions
Discover the wonderfully relaxing craft of needle felting, and escape the everyday hustle and bustle with this complete beginner-friendly kit to make a majestic Whale, and designed to help you slow down, get creative, and turn handfuls of fluffy wool into something beautiful.
A new craft kit won't make your to-do list disappear... But it will give you the perfect excuse to put down your phone, take some well-deserved time for yourself, and lose yourself in a little creativity.
There's something magical about transforming soft wool into a beautiful creation with just a needle and your imagination. The gentle, repetitive rhythm of needle felting is wonderfully calming, helping you switch off from the stresses of the day and enjoy the thrill of making something with your own hands.
You don't need any experience to get started - our detailed, step-by-step photo instructions guide you through the whole process, from your first poke of the needle to the finishing touches, so even complete beginners can discover the joy of needle felting.
Please note, this kit contains sharp felting needles and is only suitable for ages 14+.
Kit Contents
- British wool in a variety of breeds & colours
- 2x felting needles in a secure case
- 7" foam block working surface* (add as an optional extra when ordering)
- Detailed instructions with step-by-step photos
- Beautiful gift box
You Will Also Need
- Foam working surface* (or add one to your order above!)
- Tea and biscuits (optional!)
- *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!)

I purchased this for my grandson to try his hand at felting. I am a beginner so we’ll have some fun. He’s arrives in March so I’ll post when completed.
Bought for 11 year old. She absolutely loved creating her whale and it looks amazing! She didn't need any help whatsoever amd has created a beautiful cuddly toy. Materials were really nicely packaged so it made a gorgeous gift. Thank you!!
I have never felted before. The instructions were perfect! I loved doing it! I will be buying more kits for sure!
This was my first needle felting project, the kit was well put together and shipped quickly! Instructions were also incredibly easy to follow, would purchase from this shop again, and now I have a new craft that I love!
This was my second felting kit and it is ideal for a beginner. The instructions are very clear with lots
of pictures to help. Plenty of wool and really happy with the end result.
A lovely little kit, it was super easy and fun to make. I thoroughly enjoyed making it and I'd 100% recommend it to those who are interested. Mine wasn't exactly like the example but nothings perfect.
I had thought I had done this, I was so delighted not only with the whale instructions ( so very easy to follow) and the quality of the equipment which is superb .What really impressed me was the way it was presented, The box, wrapping paper snd how it was packed was far far more than I expected. I wanted it for myself however if anybody buys it to give as a gift .. it is beautifully gift wrapped AMAZING +++
