Field Mouse Needle-Felting Kit – Beginners

Bring a little field mouse to life with this absorbing beginners needle-felting project.

Using natural and hand-dyed Romney wool, you will gradually build, shape and detail your own three-dimensional wool mouse. A pipe cleaner is included to help form the underlying structure, while two specialist felting needles allow you to shape the body and create its softly textured finish.

Your kit includes:

• Eco felting-pad cover—rice for filling is not included
• One pipe cleaner
• Parchment paper
• One 36-gauge felting needle
• One 40-gauge reverse felting needle
• Natural white Romney wool
• Blush hand-dyed Romney wool
• Brown hand-dyed Romney wool
• Black hand-dyed Romney wool
• Illustrated instruction booklet
• Access to a supporting video tutorial
• Reusable presentation box
• The standard 36-gauge needle is used to shape and firm the wool, while the reverse felting needle pulls fibres outwards to help create the mouse’s characterful, fuzzy coat.

This kit is rated intermediate and is ideal for anyone who has completed a simple needle-felting project or feels ready to try more detailed three-dimensional shaping. The illustrated instructions and video tutorial guide you through each stage.

Once completed, your handmade mouse makes a charming decorative piece for a country home, woodland display or seasonal arrangement. The kit also makes a thoughtful gift for felters, wildlife lovers and creative adults.

You will need uncooked rice to fill the supplied eco felting-pad cover before beginning the project.

Felting needles are extremely sharp, and the finished mouse contains a pipe-cleaner armature. This kit is intended for adults or responsible older children working under close adult supervision. The completed mouse is a decorative craft item and is not a toy.

Because Romney wool is a natural fibre and the coloured wool is dyed by hand, slight variations in colour and texture may occur.
