We have recently added some new products so it is worth having a nose around the shop. We now stock new wool mixes for our wet felting kits. Furthermore, we are now selling bamboo and merino wool blends, natural alpaca in 6 shades, dyed bamboo fibre in 10 colours, small perfectly formed glass animal noses to compliment the glass eyes. We are finally back in stock of the 42 gauge forked needle. If you are unsure about which needle to use please see our needle guide.
We also have a new member joining the team which is very exciting, I am sure you will hear more from him in future blog and newsletter posts. And finally we have now opened up our free post to international order over £50. After looking for picture of felted fireworks displays and drawing a blank I found this lovely photograph if anyone has had a go at a felted firework picture I would love to see it. -
