Create works of art with wool: use needle-felting and mixed-media techniques to create 12 delightful woodland-themed projects.

New from popular crafter and author Jo Lochhead, creator of the Crafty Kit Company (@craftykitcompany).


Inspired by the Scottish countryside and a worldwide palette of woodlands, wildlife and open skies, all 12 projects reflect the rich textures and colors of nature. You’ll find everything from autumn leaves to woodland animals, with each design capturing a little piece of that outdoor beauty to place inside your home.

  • It’s easy to get started: whether you are a complete beginner, or just looking for artistic inspiration, needle felting is an easy, enjoyable craft. Everything you need to get started is covered in the book: from key tools and essential techniques, to framing and displaying your finished pieces.
  • 12 inspiring projects, clearly explained: follow the illustrated step-by-step instructions and use the full-size outlines to create your own stunning nature-inspired scenes.
  • Push your creative boundaries: incorporate embroidery techniques, watercolor, felt fabric and small foraged items, which add extra dimension and texture to bring your woodland scenes to life.

With just a few simple tools and some wool fibers, you too can create beautiful wool-painted woodland works of art!
Jo Lochhead is the founder and creative director of The Crafty Kit Company, an award winning business which produces soft craft kits inspired by the beautiful landscape, flora and fauna of East Lothian, where the business is based. She comes from a creative background: her father was a watercolour artist, her brother runs a successful ceramics business, and her mother still knits, sews and crochets.
Jo discovered the joy of creating everlasting flowers from felt in 2020 and has shared the techniques she has learned with thousands of people since, through online workshops, social media and her website: www.craftykitcompany.co.uk
