If you would like to create a needle felted horse but don’t want to hunt for materials, this starter kit is perfect for you! It includes nearly all you need to create the perfect horse - and it is a really good way to have a go at felting without the commitment.
The materials included are the same I use in my work, so you can trust their quality. I find that low quality wool and needles are one of the major reasons people don’t get on with needle felting, (speaking from experience here!) so I have put together a high quality kit which won’t cost the earth. And as an added bonus, you can even include the video course for a discounted price!

*Please note that the core wool is processed, washed and carded in house, so there might be some vegetable matter embedded throughout. This is easily picked out and won't harm the finished product in any way :)

How do I get access to the video course?
If you've chosen to include the video course - When your parcel arrives, we will include a coupon for 100% discount on the video course, which you can then use to sign up. If you would like this coupon earlier, just shoot us a quick message and we'll get right on it! Please note that the basic kit does not include access to the video course.
I can’t find the glass eyes! Where are they?
Check the clay jar - they will be securely packed within.
Why do you use plastic jars instead of glass?
Plastic is, unfortunately, cheaper and sturdier than glass. I figured that by using plastic jars which can then be cleaned and reused, I wouldn’t need to use bubble wrap which would potentially go straight into the bin - plus I can pass the savings on to you!
How can I store the clay after use?
Add a couple of drops of water before sealing the jar tightly, and try to use it all within a month - perhaps by sculpting tiny apples or carrots for your new horse!
Do you make kits for different coat colours?
I'm afraid I don't - however, feel free to shoot me a message and I will be happy to create a custom kit for you!
