Behind the Box: Why We Choose the Materials We Do

Every item in our kits is chosen with purpose - and with you, the maker, in mind. We don’t just pack a box with bits and bobs. We curate each element to give you the most enjoyable, accessible, and rewarding crafting experience possible.

That’s why we use high-quality materials you can trust, from soft felting wool to easy-thread needles. If it’s in the kit, it’s there because it adds to your success. Even small things - like the size of the hoop or the type of felt - have been tested by our designers, so you know you’re getting something that works.

We also think about how it feels to open a kit. That first peek inside should spark excitement and confidence. You should be able to say, “Yes, I can do this!”, even if you’ve never crafted before.

And because mindfulness and well-being are at the heart of what we do, we design our kits to support slow, calming creativity. Each kit is more than a project, it’s a moment of joy, stitched together just for you.

In most of our needle felting kits, you’ll find some or all of the following:

100% Corriedale wool - A beautifully soft and springy wool that felts easily and holds shape, ideal for both beginners and experienced makers.

Quality German felting needles - Chosen for their strength and precision, they help you sculpt wool cleanly and effectively.

Wool-mix felt fabric - Used for wings, ears, or clothing in some kits, this adds lovely textural contrast to your creations.

Armature wire - Found in kits where movement is needed, giving your models structure and flexibility.

Glass eyes - These tiny details bring animals and characters to life, giving personality to every project.

Recycled foam mat - A practical and eco-conscious felting surface that helps protect your needles and table.

Full colour instructions - Clear, step-by-step guides with photos to help you feel confident every step of the way.

Not every kit will include all of these components - some may contain different or additional items depending on the project. Whether it’s wire for shaping limbs, embroidery thread for detail, or beads for sparkle, each item is chosen specifically for the design you’re making.

So when you open your kit, know that every piece has been thoughtfully included to help you create something beautiful, build your confidence, and enjoy every moment of the making process.
