Why The Wool Family?

Needle felting has become my true passion. What began as a creative outlet has grown into a webshop full of beginner-friendly kits that make felting simple and joyful.

I proudly collaborate with Gijs en Brechtje Dagbesteding, a day program for young adults with intellectual disabilities. Together, we carefully pack each kit — a piece of social entrepreneurship that makes every order extra meaningful.

From carefully selected European wool to clear step-by-step instructions, each kit is tested and refined to give you the very best start.

I still try and tweak every design myself — because I believe that when a project works well, crafting becomes pure joy.

💛 Felting made easy, with quality you can trust.

Made and packed with care

Each needle felting kit is assembled with attention and care.

From selecting the wool to packing the box.

The packing is done at a social care workshop, where Gijs and Brechtje contribute with care and enjoyment.
