Needle Felting Kit review by Knit Today

The knitting magazine Knit Today featured one of knitshop.co.uk's products in issue 50, p50.

Buyer’s Guide - Pattern review: Featuring Knitshop’s Needle Felting Kit with Silk by Julieta:
"This flower makes a nice brooch (it’s easy - you just need to sew a pin onto the back), and is also good to sew onto a coat, or you can even use it to hide an annoying hole or snag in your favourite top! It’s made using needle felting techniques, and the kit is comes in contains everything you need to get started with this hobby: a felting needle, felting pad, merino wool tops, silk tops and fleece, and instructions. Each kit contains wool tops in four colours and there are six different colour schemes for you to choose from. You don’t need a great deal of patience for needle felting - this kit in particular won’t take long to complete. It’s also the sort of project that you can make a start on and then set aside and come back to later on. Once your flower is complete, consider decorating it with beads or Swarovski crystals to add an extra touch of sparkle."
