West Bay Needle Felting Kit 109 Pieces Set, Wool Roving 36 Colors with Complete Felt Tools and Storage Box Needle Felting Starter Kit for DIY Craft Animal Home Decoration Birthday Gift

This is a very cute set with lots of material and tools. My 10 year old is just starting to needle felt and this is a great starter set. She has no compaints or requests for anything beyond what is in this box. It;s a nice one-stop beginner set to help them get the hang of it and not a huge investment for a new hobby. I also love that it came in a case, all nice and contained.

This is so good for beginners who aren’t quite sure what they want to make yet and need a little bit of a lot of different colors

I'm not one to do reviews but since I enjoy needlefelting and sell things made through it, I feel it's only wise to do this. Overall, it's not horrible, could be far worse. The amount of roving helps as all these kits always only sell the little baggies; no kit i've bought has ever done more than just little baggies. SO that was expected and some of the wool is swirled with other colors so there's a nicer variety. It has the items you need if you are starting out, such as the needles, the shears, the foam pad to felt on top of, the thumb protectors, and it does give you some instructions. Outside of that, here's the issues. There is a strong and strange odor coming from the entire thing. I don't know what it is or what the source is, but there is a strange smell that might give some people a headache; it might air out hopefully. the thumb protectors are together, which in every other kit I've gotten they are never attached. So to my knowledge, that's a factory mishap. The shears/scissors are damaged as reviews say. They blades are more bent but somehow they do close. I still have a set of shears and i read reviews and purchased this as the shears weren't the big reason I wanted this. Like in a review I saw as well, the needles do have a weird grimy feel to them. This seems to be the normal from what I've observed when buying needles. Which isn't fun as you need to wipe them down as the first ever needlefelt kit I had, didn't have this issue; sadly I don't remember what that one was other than it did come to amazon but according to my sister who bought it, seems to have been removed. There's a bag that is just a mismash of all the things offered and some things I didn't even see. It's a bit hard to know what it all is besides some different options for eyes, some loose bells, keychain attachments, and i'm not sure what else. The things in this bag though feel weird and have a stronger smell to them as well. The box that holds everything is already bursting at the seams, so it's not gonna close properly sadly. Which is a shame as I do like the box. Overall, I don't hate it. I read reviews that warned about certain things and still did it but keep in mind, i purchased this while it was on sale and I'm glad I did. As I wouldn't like this for a higher price, with how it is, I feel that despite all the extra items that I wanted being in it, it should probably be priced lower due to the quality issues. I bought this kit for the wool roving; as I always need that, the pins as I want to try and make some, the keychain bits, the holder for the needle, the styro-foam mat thing, and possibly the pliers. The other things were just the extra bits I was willing to try and use potentially and if I don't, then that's fine. Overall, it's not horrible. Could be a little better.

This is the perfect felting kit for a beginner that wants to learn how to do just about anything with wool. It comes with several colors and several extra felting needles as well as a few extra items I will be able to play with. I’ve made a few needle felting rugs for my newborn photography business and I’m now making needle felted hearts and bears and stuff like that. This is perfect for me. Trust me when I say the styrofoam is a necessity! I’m glad they include it! Don’t throw it away! It isn’t there just to take up space, you will save your hands, lap and needles by placing it under your project for the felting needle to push the wool through.

Just what is needed for a beginner for this craft

The reason for the 3-star review is upon opening Amazon box and removing large air "bubbles" and plastic wrap in container the top and upper box were severely cracked. After unloading top container of small items, tools, stencils, bits and baubles I used epoxy to somewhat repair the lid and top container. One of the bags of bits and baubles was very nicely packaged in individual baggies. The other bag was a mish mash of bits and baubles. While the epoxy was drying I separated and straightened various hooks and pins. Looking through the tools most were what I expected for the price of this kit except the tweezers, one tip of the tweezers are broken off, unsure if usable, will see when I start projects. I find the glue sticks for a glue gun unnecessary. What if the person buying this item does not have a glue gun? The wool is as expected, numerous colors and will be great for practicing wool felting. Yes, I am excited to start this craft that is new to me and the kit will allow me to do this. I am unhappy with the quality of the container and need for repair/replacement and need to repair enclosed items.

She seemed very excited and clutched it to her chest.

This was a gift, it looks to have everthing advertised.
