Discover the absorbing craft of needle felting while creating your own wonderfully characterful woolly gnome.
Designed with beginners in mind, this kit contains the specialist tools, Romney wool fibres and accessories needed to complete the project. Easy-to-follow illustrated instructions and a supporting video tutorial guide you through each stage, from shaping the wool to adding the gnome’s colourful finishing details.
The kit combines natural white Romney wool with blush, green and red hand-dyed Romney wool, giving your finished gnome a cheerful, traditional appearance.
Your kit includes:

No previous needle-felting experience is necessary. The two different needle gauges help you shape the main form and add finer details as your project develops.
Needle felting is a tactile and satisfying craft that uses repeated, controlled movements to sculpt loose wool fibres into a firm three-dimensional shape. It makes a relaxing creative activity and leaves you with a handmade gnome to display or give as a thoughtful gift.
Felting needles are extremely sharp. This kit is intended for adult use or for older children working under close adult supervision.
The finished gnome is a decorative craft item and is not intended to be used as a toy.

What is included in the kit?
You will receive natural and hand-dyed Romney wool, 36- and 40-gauge felting needles, an eco felting-pad cover, a pipe cleaner, parchment paper, instructions and a video tutorial link, presented in a reusable box.
Do I need anything else to complete the project?
You will need uncooked rice to fill the eco felting pad, as rice is not included. The listing or instruction booklet should specify the required quantity.
Why are two different felting needles included?
The different needle gauges are used for different stages of the project. One helps with shaping and firming the main form, while the finer needle is useful for adding and refining details. Follow the enclosed instructions for the correct use of each needle.
Are the felting needles sharp?
Yes. Felting needles are extremely sharp and should be handled carefully. The kit is intended for adults or older children working under close adult supervision.
Is the finished gnome a toy?
No. The completed gnome is intended as a decorative craft item and should not be treated as a children’s toy.
How long does the project take?
Completion time will depend on your experience and working pace. Needle felting is best enjoyed without rushing, allowing time to gradually shape and firm the wool.
Will my gnome look exactly like the photograph?
Every handmade gnome will be slightly different. Variations in the wool and your individual shaping and detailing will give your finished piece its own character.
