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 rare Red Squirrel, 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+.

Lovely needle felting kit

A beautifully presented starter kit for needle felting. It arrived really quickly too. I have enjoyed making the red squirrel and am nearly finished. It would be useful to have a “finished shape” photo of the body added to the guide booklet as an extra help when starting out. Thank you for ensuring everything is as plastic free as possible. I’m sure I’ll be back to buy more wool and I’m hoping to try the weaving kits too.

Beautiful wool & easy to follow instructions.

I got this for my daughter's 12th birthday, as she loves making things and had shown interest in needle felting.
Instructions were easy for her to follow, as a beginner. Needles seem good & strong and come in a protective case. Parcel arrived in good time & was well presented, perfect as a gift with a pretty box. I'll definitely order from here again.
