Wait, what's needle felting?

Wool + a stabby needle = magic

A felting needle has tiny barbs along its tip. Every poke drags wool fibers down and tangles them together. Do it a few thousand times and a fluffy cloud of wool firms up into a solid sculpture. No glue, no sewing, no loom.

Grab some fluff

Start with loose wool roving: a firm core wool for the shape, and soft colored merino for the outside.

Poke, poke, poke

Stab the wool into a foam pad with a barbed needle. Coarse needles shape fast; fine ones smooth the surface and add detail.

Meet your critter

Balls and logs become heads, bodies and legs. Add eyes, a blush of color, and a new friend appears.

The Shop

Fuzzy friends looking for homes

Every piece is sculpted by hand from real wool, so no two are ever exactly alike.

DecideWhere does checkout live? Etsy (built-in traffic) vs. Shopify vs. Square (also handles class tickets).
PricingAll prices are placeholders. Track hours per piece × hourly rate + materials.
ShippingFelted pieces are light but crushable. Find a box size and a flat rate.
Custom Commissions

Your pet, but fluffier.

Send a few photos and I'll sculpt a one-of-a-kind wool replica of your best buddy, down to the floppy ear and the questionable whisker. Great as gifts and memorials, or just because.

FAQ

Burning (fuzzy) questions

Do I need any experience to take a class?

Nope! Classes are designed for total beginners. If you can poke something, you can needle felt.

Will I stab myself?

Maybe once. The needles are sharp, so we go over safe technique first and provide finger guards. Most people get the hang of it within minutes.

What should I bring?

Just yourself! All wool, needles, foam pads and finger guards are included. Wear clothes you don't mind getting a little fluffy.

How long do custom pet portraits take?

Typically a few weeks depending on size and the queue. You'll get progress photos along the way. (Exact turnaround TBD.)

Are felted pieces safe for kids or pets to play with?

They're decorative art pieces, not toys. Small parts and glass eyes aren't safe for little kids or pets to chew on.

How do I care for my felted piece?

Keep it out of direct sun to prevent fading. Dust gently with a soft brush or a lint roller. Never put it in the washing machine!
