from 1024 reviewsGreat tape for covering my small black leg needle felting feet
Been making lots of easter chicks
Arrived quickly well packaged
Allways love the makers products

The owl is well made only small and hasn’t got a wide girth so, not the best for making big deep holes. It is sharp so that’s good. Remember this is for travel purposes so it certainly is useful and a lot better than making holes with your needles and useful for all the other naughty things we use Owl’s for. Picture with hand to give you a size reference.
Beautifully soft fibre, so easy so use for making my little mice!
Fastdelivery
Emailed to change delivery address. Was dealt with efficiently and package arrived at correct address quickly. The order is for a gift so i can't comment on product but based on information and ordering at the craft fayre and the service with delivery i would buy from this company again.
Every time I place an order I know it will be dealt with by professional, caring staff.
My orders have arrived quickly and the products are of high quality.
Thank you for being so efficient.
I received my box of wool yesterday. I’m so pleased with it and can’t wait to start using it.
Thank you xx
A box of feather-weight gorgeousness. Love the colours, just as shown on the website. The Blue Leicester locks are stunning.
Lovely item, promptly delivered.
Brilliant value. Love the texture
Bought these legs for my Needle felted chicks
Covered them with beige florist tape
They look great
I absolutely loved making this octopus kit. I had been looking for a while for an octopus kit but couldn't seem to find any - I then came across this one and couldn't resist! I had showed my dad needle felted octopus designs before (just by looking on the internet) but this was the one that he instantly thought looked great and I have absolutely no regrets.
I have never felt (touched) such luxurious wool - it is honestly so soft and lovely to use. I have tried quite a few kits now from other well-known brands though I am still learning but the wool has never felt this good - I realise now what a difference it can make. I didn't even realise that core wool could feel that soft - I want to get more (update: I have since bought the Lanolin Rich Core Wool from The Makerss because it is hard to go back to other types of core wool now lol - you should definitely try it! The Fox Red Variegated NZ Merino that comes with the kit is lovely too - I am now converted to carded wool now too as I don't think I'd tried it before [if I have, it certainly hasn't been anywhere near as nice as this] and from now on, it will be the main type I use, along with the Lanolin core). Honourable mention to the Luxury Red Pipe Cleaners which I used for the first time too - so fluffy!
Plus, in the YouTube video, Steffi recommends using a 38 twisted needle and that is soooo good for this project as it felts so nicely with the wool. Before now, I have mainly just stuck to triangle needles as I couldn't really tell much difference? But, let me tell you, the 38 twisted is a new fave now as it worked so nicely with this wool. Certain wools make certain needles shine (and vice versa) - that's one of the things I have learnt. Pure ASMR. I loved having the YouTube tutorial to go along with it because I am very much a visual learner and sometimes I can get a bit confused when just reading instructions (of needle felt kits in general)... it was my first proper make-a-long and it was so much fun! I didn't end up using the bit of dragon mix that was provided because I liked the octopus as it was (looking red all the way around) but I am excited to use it for something else.
Customer service has been super lovely too - I had actually contacted them about advice for a different project but they've been very supportive about the octopus too (I didn't ask for any advice regarding the octopus but I mentioned that I was completing it and they were rooting me on).
As an extra thing, I also got a piece of chocolate with the kit which was a nice surprise. I think I may have used a bit too much red at the beginning so I had to stretch that out a bit and the most difficult part for me was the webbing but I am so happy with how this octopus turned out. The effort was so worth it and I learnt a lot - this is my first completed project using armature too! It was a gift for my dad's birthday but I got the gift of making it, which was just as worthwhile.
P.S. My mum and little sister loved that the suckers were there when the octopus was turned over - they weren't expecting it and they thought it added so much :)
Great quality and very good price.
Very enjoyable. Good instructions very helpful to have the video too. Good quality fibre.
Think this has to be my favourite so far and love the message. Thank you once again The Makerss
I am a beginner to needle felting. The book is really good, with lots of projects to make through the year. My favourite so far... The "Autumn" theme! I had hours of fun!
I bought this book because I love making seasonal things from wool. This book is full of cute seasonal things to make.
Really love the step by step description and the lovely photo's. Great for beginners and advanced beginners.
Really looking forward to go and make some pieces out of this lovely book.
I would give this book ten stars if I could!
Clear, well written instructions with great photos help you to learn lots of techniques without being overwhelming.
Each project builds on skills learnt in previous projects, so you’re consolidating new skills all the time.
Love, love, love this book.
