Why Craft With Us

WHY I NEEDLE FELT

  1. The whole system is rigged & stabbing wool is righteous rage relief
  2. Crafting is cathartic & real life art, made by humans, is still awesome
  3. Facism sucks & won’t fix itself
  4. You need a way to remember your humanity

Needle felting the restful part of the resistance you can’t resist. Bleed (a bit). Breathe. Begin again.

I needle felt for all of those reasons, but really, I was born to.

Why We Give

Needle Felting FAQs

See all of the Q&A here.

  • Needle felting is the art of stabbing wool until you shape a new reality.

    On an industrial scale, machines with thousands of barbed needles smash loose wool into felt fabric. Some demented geniuses in the 1980s decided to try it with a single needle by hand and now we’re sculpting tacos, chill pills, and political voodoo dolls out of fluff.

  • Yes! Our beginner kits include step-by-step instructions, photos, and eventually will have helpful video tutorials (COMING SOON!)

    Here are some protips in the meantime:

    • Stab with purpose. Weak pokes won’t tangle wool.
    • Keep your angle. If you stab in at one angle and pull out at another,you’ll snap the needle.
    • Your fingers will bleed. Thimbles, blister tape, or leather guards help. Clunky rubber “finger sacks”? Skip them.
    • Bandaids nearby. Trust us.
    • First piece = wonky. But fluffy and adorable. Don’t quit.
    • Pets will eat your work. Keep it out of reach unless it’s stabbed rock-solid.

  • Only a little. Okay, sometimes a lot. That’s why we include a few funky bandaids in each kit.

  • Ethically sourced from small U.S. farms. Mostly of our kit wool comes from mills and independent farmers in North Carolina. We also love to feature wool from Felted Sky, Living Felt, and Grey Fox Felting.
