Felting Needles - all packed in a safe screw-top shatterproof tube!
Basic Needles: Our economy needles our particularly suitable for total beginners (this is why we put them into our kits). They are a lot sturdier and you can tell their sizes apart by comparing the lengths of the needles. The longest is a coarse #36, the middle one a medium #38 and the shortest (standard size) a fine #40.
We stock a mix of needles including Groz Beckert high quality felting needles (see below). They are marked with a colour on the top. Below is a guide to the needles we sell, and the colours we use:
Standard: Good quality felting needles available in triangle shaped cross section. Marked with a colour on the end.
#36 coarse - White (x6)
#38 medium - Orange (x6) or (x10)
#40 fine - Green (x6)
#42 Extra Fine -Burgundy (x6)
Standard Mix Tube: (#36 coarse x 2, #38 medium x 2, #40 fine x 2)
Twisted (Spiral) (Groz Beckert): The needles are triangular in cross section but twisted, a little like a drill bit in looks. We love twisted needles as we have found they work faster and leave less visible holes. Marked with a colour on the end.
#36 coarse - Black (x3)
#38 medium - Purple (x3)
#40 fine - Red (x3)
#42 very fine - Baby Pink (x3)
Twisted Mix Tube: (#36 coarse x 1, #38 medium x 1, #40 fine x 1)
Twisted (Spiral) Star: The best of both worlds of the twisted needles and the star needle combined. We love these needles! They were a favourite gift in our 2018 advent calendar.
#38 medium - Dark Blue (x3)
Cross-Star (Groz Beckert): The Cross-Star needles have 4 sides which means they catch fibres from 4 different places rather than 3 as the triangle needles do, making them a much harder worker.
#38 medium - Yellow (x3)
Crown (Groz Beckert): This needle is used for very fine work. The most common use is to add hair or detailed fur to a project. Good needle for use on dolls eyebrows, eyelashes and hair.
#42 very fine - Opal (x6)
Reverse (Groz Beckert): The needles have notches / barbs on them which face the opposite direction to normal needles, and therefore pull the fibres outwards rather than stabbing them inwards. This creates a lovely fluffy effect which is great for needle felt animals. See our free tips on using the Reverse Needle here.
#32 coarse - Teal (x5)
#40 fine - Coral (x3)
Reverse Mix Tube: (#32 coarse x 2, #40 fine x 2)
Crown (Groz Beckert): This needle is used for very fine work. The most common use is to add hair or detailed fur to a project and smooth the surface. The notches are at the very tip of the needle and it is therefore suitable for superficial surface work.

from 1107 reviewsYou just have to love these mice. They can become addictive!
As with all the kits from the Makerss, they come with full simple easy to follow instruction and a generous amount of materials to complete the project.
This was the first time I had used silk clay in my makes.
Loved this kit.
Generous materials supplied, enough to complete the project.
Simple enough for the 1st time make.
Love his wellies. Hoping the Makerss will sell these as an accessory in the future
A sweet little kit.
Easy to assemble project with all you need to make it in the kit.
What a fantastic idea. !
Edging tools. Certainly saves stabbing your fingers and saves wearing the gret leather finger guards too.
I’ll buy anything to add to my felting tool box. Certainly worth there weight in gold. !
Get some !
Looking forward to starting this kit.i have not done picture felt before. The quality looks great . I also have the robin and I will be in no doubt about purchasing the Kingfisher. Also great that it's liked to RSPB. Thankyou Makerss
Dear Makerrs I have not started this kit yet but I am looking forward to trying something different. I have enjoyed all previous kits that I have purchased from you. As always the instructions are clear. Thank you
I purchased this box as a one off as I watched Steffi on a Facebook live unboxing event and fell in love with Donkey and just had to buy him. The items in the box included felting mat, tools and lots of exciting colours of wool, I think it's fantastic, I just can't wait to start making him
This kit will be wonderful to create with all of the bright colors and no fixed pattern. Because I bought 2 of them I will be doing a "stabbing" party with a friend as we make them together.
Haven't used it yet, but it feels soft, and I like how it's biodegradable as well. Can't wait to try it.
Looks like a fun kit to make two beautiful cats.
So pleased I've managed to find these, really useful and saves stabbing of fingers whilst edging felts.
Lovely colour, love the fact that I can store my needles securely, well made, sturdy material
