Hamanaka Small Friends Dogs H441-482 Needle Felting Kit

Brand: Hamanaka

Part of the Small Friends series: tiny dog figures felted from Japanese wool batting, with eyes and nose parts included. The wool is pre carded and felts quickly, which is why Japanese kits are known for neat faces and clean surfaces. Sizes are small, so material use is low and one sitting is often enough for a figure.

The catch is language. The instruction sheet is in Japanese, with drawings and measurements that most people can follow, but there is no English text. Anyone who needs written steps should watch a video first. The needle is not always part of these packs, so a felting needle and mat may have to be bought separately. Quality of the wool is the reason to pick this kit over cheaper sets.
