New Improved Recipe-
We are currently offering 4 colours in both, Soft Woolly Wax and Firm Woolly Wax.
Woolly Wax Round Shape - Soft - this is a soft version for smoothing down wool fibres and preparing wire for wool wraps.
Woolly Wax Star Shape- Firm - this is the hardest version for smoothing down wool fibres and preparing wire for wool wraps. The wax can be used on its own for beaks, claws etc.
This is our own recipe, made in house and only available from us! It is made from beeswax, a blend of other European waxes/oils as well as lanolin and resin.
*Please note: there are no nut containing ingredients in the Woolly Wax, however the wax is produced in an area where nuts are used.*
No need to melt this wax. Simply scrape off what you need with a teaspoon or the back of your nail. It softens in your hands to become pliable and slightly sticky. This creates a firm to the touch, slightly tacky finish, which can be re-shaped through just the heat in your hands.
NB: This wax has a low melting point so keep away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Store at room temperature.

from 1103 reviewsLooking 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
Nice size needle
Nice size, excellent quality
Both wool balls are excellent quality & nice size
Lovely & soft, well made & biodegradable
So excited. Just can’t wait to get the next one !
Looking at the kit I am very impressed with the quality. I am not going to be making it yet so can't comment on how it goes together, but looking forward to starting it later in the year.
Love quality. Easy to use. Value for money.
Didn’t realise I needed it till I tried! Great product, will be buying again…
Love it! Perfect for preparing wire ready for wrapping. With just enough grip so it's not overly sticky.
I used the soft version of this wax to make tiny feet and paws. It’s brilliant! So easy to blend into the wool with your fingers, a little goes a long way and I love the heart shape for pulling the wire through.
It’s much easier to soften than the original beeswax. 100% a keeper for me!
This wax is the fantastic for making claws. It may feel a bit tricky to handle at first, but once you get the technique right, it works a treat and makes very realistic claws and beaks. Smells lovely too!
The very small hearts are cumbersome to handle. But that isn't the reason I didn't care for it. It simply didn't have enough stick to it to help fiber adhere to wire. I have used a tacky substance from a USA seller and it worked much better. I was out of that so thought I would try this. Not impressed.
