Soft Sculptures Made by Hand

Needle felting is a wonderfully tactile and calming craft, perfect for beginners who want to explore something soft, simple and deeply satisfying. It involves using a special barbed needle to poke and shape loose wool fibres into firm, sculpted forms.

Get to know Needle Felting …

With each gentle movement the wool tangles and compresses, gradually forming solid shapes that can become anything from tiny animals to seasonal decorations. It is a slow paced, mindful craft that encourages creativity and offers beautiful results even for complete beginners.
