5 Christmas Presents Every Needle Felter Needs
Shopping for a needle felter can be tricky — if you want to truly surprise the needle felter in your life with a thoughtful, meaningful gift, choose something that tells a story — from a pasture-to-product company that raises the sheep, processes the wool, and felts with it too.
Most felters start out buying their supplies from big chain stores and have never had the chance to experience high-quality wool grown and prepared specifically for needle felting. Once they do, they’ll feel the difference instantly — wool that felts quickly, holds its shape beautifully, and makes every project more enjoyable.
When you gift something from Bear Creek Felting, you’re not just giving supplies; you’re giving a creative experience built on quality, care, and craftsmanship. These are the same materials I use every day in my own work — and I promise, your felter will be thanking you for years to come.
Here are five thoughtful presents every needle felter will love — plus a few bonus ideas to make your shopping even easier.
🎁 1. A Needle Felting Kit
There’s something magical about starting a new felting project — new wool, new design, new inspiration! A Bear Creek Felting Kit is the perfect gift for both beginners and experienced felters.
Each kit includes everything needed to complete a project: wool from my own flock of carefully bred sheep (chosen for their ideal felting qualities), needles, a felting cushion, and a printed instruction booklet with color photos and helpful tips for success.
They’re beautifully packaged and ready for gift-giving.
🪡 2. Extra Felting Needles (and the Perfect Needle Holder)
This might not sound exciting to the uninitiated, but to a needle felter, extra needles are pure joy! Needles can break or disappear into the depths of the couch (don’t ask me how I know).
We carry a wide variety of needle types and sizes — from 36 to 40 gauge, including star, spiral, cross-star, and reverse needles — so there’s always the right tool for the job.
And while you’re at it, add the perfect needle holder to the list. It makes felting so much more comfortable, especially during long projects. I’ve tried many over the years, and this one is truly my favorite — it fits beautifully in your hand and makes holding the needle feel effortless. Once you’ve tried it, you’ll never want to felt without it.
Tuck a few packs of extra needles and a needle holder into a stocking, and you’ll have one very happy felter on Christmas morning.
🧶 3. A 100% Wool Felting Pad
Does the squeak of a foam cushion make you shudder? For some, it’s the crafting equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. That’s why I’m thrilled to offer American-made 100% wool felting pads — a natural, quiet, and long-lasting alternative to foam.
They’re eco-friendly, biodegradable, and provide the perfect surface for needle felting. Once you try one, you’ll never go back!
🐏 4. The Perfect Wool for Needle Felting
Our wool comes from a flock of carefully selected crossbreeds, raised right here on my farm and chosen for their exceptional felting qualities. The wool is washed without harsh chemicals and prepared to felt smoothly and hold its shape beautifully — no fuzz, no frustration, just pure felting joy.
Looking for something unique? Try our felted wool sheets — sturdy bases perfect for creating landscapes, banners, or even coasters. They’re a felter’s dream canvas!
🧰 5. Needle Organization & Storage
If you’ve ever lost a felting needle, you know the pain — and the occasional poked finger while digging through a bag! Keep those tools safe and easy to find with our needle storage and organizational supplies.
From travel-friendly cases to elegant tool rolls, they make the perfect practical gift — especially for felters who love to create on the go.
🎀 Bonus: Gift Bundles for Felters
If you can’t decide what to choose, we’ve made it easy! Our gift bundles combine favorite products — like wool, needles, and felting pads — at a reduced price. They’re ready to wrap, beautifully coordinated, and guaranteed to delight any felter.
Whether you’re filling stockings, gifting creativity to someone new, or treating yourself to a cozy winter project, these are truly the five gifts every needle felter needs.
Wishing you a warm, woolly, and wonderfully creative holiday season!
