We love using wool from across the country. We've explored small mills and indie shops from Washington state to North Carolina. Our favorite wool is from:

• Indy processer and dyer in Asheville, NC
• Felted Sky in Plymouth, MI
• Grey Fox Felting in New York
• Woolzilla in Oregon

We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.

Yes! I have our kits and a few needle felted miniatures on Faire. Check them out.

BaconAstro kits, felted miniatures, stencils, and stickers can be found at some amazing local businesses (non-amazon! fuck you, jeff bezos) around the country. Here's the list.

I usually release new kits every 3 months. Follow me on Bluesky and you'll get a better sense of how close I am to dropping a new needle felting kit.

Yep! When I'm not packing kits, I'm working on client projects. Need tiny corporate holiday gifts, a window display, a weird social post, or fuzzy diorama? Send me a message and let's collab!

Each kit includes hand blended wool, the best needles, and a QR code to detailed instructions you need to complete the project.

All beginner kits also include a small handmade felting mat / pad. For the advanced kits, I assume you already have a mat (but if you don't check out some of our colorful mat options here)

Before you buy, just review the product pages! They'll always list exactly what is included so there are no surprises.

Our kits are mostly made for older teens to adults based on our themes, humor, and fucking language.

But, as a parent, I would recommend no one under 12 using these kits without adult supervision. The needles are insanely sharp and I would not trust anyone in elementary school using one by themselves.

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 lovely and demented geniuses 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.

1. Pick up a felting needle.

2. Stab wool.

3. Repeat.

The needles have little notches that tangle the fibers together until the wool firms up. It’s slow. Like, the slowest craft out there. But it’s also forgiving: you can rip out mistakes and redo them endlessly.

Solid or soft? It’s up to you. Purists will whine that only firm projects are “acceptable.” Ignore them. Stab your way.

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 wooly work. Keep it out of reach unless it’s stabbed rock-solid.

Mandatory Needle Felting Tools

1. Needle Felting Needles - Special barbed needles. Have backups: they’re mighty but fragile.
2. Felting Mat (foam or wool) - Protect your anatomy, artwork,  and assets.
3. Wool -  Mix and match with cheaper and faster core wool, scruffy-colorful batts, or silky-slow roving.
4. A Vision or Pattern - A dog, a mushroom, or a need something to stab toward.

Other Optional Tools

1. Carder Brush - Blend colors like a wool alchemist. Dog brushes works too.
2. Felting Needle Holders + Pens - Comfort grips or multi-needle holders expedite epic projects.
3. Punch Tools - Helpful for bigger pieces, but don’t go full “needle gun.” Those either break instantly or could send you to the ER.

Nope. Only felting needles have the barbs that knot wool together. Everything else just stabs air.

Easier = fewer rules. No counting stitches or unraveling disasters. You just stab until it looks right. It’s freeform chaos compared to knitting’s calculus.

If your piece looks lumpy, crooked, or a little cursed, that is part of the joy of learning how to needle felt. IMO perfect is boring, so embrace its personality.
