About Bear Creek
Welcome to Bear Creek Felting!
I’m Teresa Perleberg, a fiber artist and professional needle felter based on a North Dakota farm, where our sheep are raised using sustainable practices and their wool is processed entirely in-house. That wool becomes the foundation for expressive needle felting kits, carefully prepared materials, and educational experiences designed to help makers succeed.
I’ve been needle felting since 2006, and teaching is at the heart of everything I do. My kits may look detailed and sculptural, but the instructions are written with beginners in mind — so you can learn more because of the details, not in spite of them.
At Bear Creek Felting, needle felting is about more than finished pieces. It’s about learning a craft, building confidence, and creating alongside a supportive community.

New Kits & Supplies
In a vertical wool operation, a single business takes ownership of the wool for the entire process, from farm to retail.
A Bear Creek Felting Kit is made fully within the state of North Dakota. This is actually quite a feat in today’s textile environment, where few businesses take ownership from raw wool to retail.
Bear Creek’s pipeline begins on the farm. The wool is washed, carded and dyed by us. The team at Bear Creek assembles the kits and ships them. Because of this, Bear Creek can offer an unsurpassable level of transparency: the wool can be tracked back to the sheep who grew it.
This traceability is incredibly important: most brands cannot offer this level of detail. But if you care about where your wool comes from, how it was processed and under what conditions, you’ll want to choose to purchase from businesses that can offer traceability.

What Customers Are Saying
I am always hesitant to subscribe to a monthly service, because I’m concerned that I won’t get my moneys worth. The Needle Felting Academy subscription has outperformed my expectations in just the first month! Teresa’s methods and tutorials for needle felting have made this craft so much more intuitive for me! I have created some pieces from her tutorials and used her techniques to create my own original pieces as well. I am very happy that I joined the Academy!
