Description
Take your needle-felting skills to the next level by creating a striking Romney wool hare standing approximately 34cm tall.
Designed for experienced and confident felters, this advanced kit introduces more complex three-dimensional construction, detailed shaping and a variety of surface-finishing techniques.
The hare is created using natural white Romney wool and a carefully selected palette of hand-dyed blush, grey, black and brown-and-cinnamon fibres. Structural wire and a pipe cleaner support the form, while horsehair adds fine finishing detail.
Your kit includes:
- Eco felting-pad cover—rice for filling is not included
- Needle holder
- Wire
- One pipe cleaner
- Parchment paper
- One 36-gauge felting needle
- One 40-gauge felting needle
- One 40-gauge reverse felting needle
- Sewing needle
- Natural white Romney wool
- Blush hand-dyed Romney wool
- Grey hand-dyed Romney wool
- Black hand-dyed Romney wool
- Brown-and-cinnamon hand-dyed Romney wool blend
- Horsehair
- Illustrated instruction booklet
- Access to a supporting video tutorial
- Reusable presentation box
- The three felting needles support different parts of the making process. Use them to build and firm the main form, add fine details and draw fibres outwards to create a more natural textured finish.
The finished hare measures approximately 34cm tall, making it an eye-catching decorative piece for a country home or wildlife-inspired display.
This advanced project requires patience and attention to detail, but the illustrated instructions and accompanying video tutorial provide guidance throughout. It makes a particularly thoughtful gift for an experienced felter looking for a more ambitious wool craft.
You will need uncooked rice to fill the supplied eco felting-pad cover before beginning.
The kit contains extremely sharp felting and sewing needles, wire and other small components. It is intended for adults and experienced older crafters. The completed hare contains an internal structure and is a decorative item, 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.
