OPount Needle Felting Starter Kit Wool Felt Tools with 6 Colors Wool Roving Felting Basic Kit

I wanted finger cots, and a wooden single needle holder, and it was cheaper to buy this set than the two pieces separately. Sometimes a set is lower quality, but comparing photos, descriptions and reviews, the sets seemed to be the same items that were sold separately. Also, this was a Prime item, and the individual items were not.The set comes in a plastic organizer with adjustable compartments. Included in it are: 6 sets of eyes, gluestick (I guess to place the eyes), awl, snippers, 8 needles (1 in holder, 7 in a plastic case), wooden needle holder, and finger cots. Also included with the set are 6 colors of roving (not pictured). The roving is nice, soft, and works up well -- I had already used some, and the rest was in my basket with my stash, thus no photo of it. The photo is one of the colors, to show size.The finger cots are big enough to fit my thumb and index finger. I have large-ish hands and was concerned whether they would fit. Getting accustomed to them is another whole issue, but they fit and work.The wooden needle holder is great to hold on to and work with. Previously I had used needles without a holder, and still may for fine detail, but I do like the comfort of using a hold. I also have a plastic pen style holder, and prefer the wood, though the plastic one holds three needles so it has a place too.I would recommend this kit for those who are just starting, to get a feel for the craft of needle felting, and of course, also to those who want a few more tools on the cheap.

I am trying to learn a new hobby. I am pretty crafty, I just needed something new in my life.This kit was not it.The scissors, which I am now seeing others had an issue with, were also rusty and bent in my kit.My wooden felting needle handle wouldn't go together like in the "directions." The dowel was so small for the hole that I could barely get it OUT, let alone get one of the needles in and put it back in. The "groove" looks like someone got lazy and just put a small dent in the top of the hole, but didn't bother to continue it down? So aside from everything else, I can't even use the kit.I am a beginner, this kit says it is for starters, says it has instructions. I got one page on how to assemble the needle. That's it. Nothing on how to start period. I am watching internet videos on how to do things, but most of them are showing a needle tool with multiple needles coming out of them. None of them are showing people holding on to a single needle with their hands in order to do it.The "foam block" is the kind of block you can get two of for a dollar at any retail store. It isn't a very high quality foam and within minutes of me trying to figure out how to do this without a tool that worked, it is already starting to peel up and make little foam balls everywhere.I am missing one color of wool. It says 6 colors, and I have 5 baggies of wool. 5 small baggies, but I was expecting that. One of my baggies seems to have half the amount of wool as the rest, but again, I wasn't expecting a lot, just enough to learn how to do this.I got this kit because it seemed like a cheap way to get a little bit of a feel for the craft. I would return it, but driving to town to do so would cost me the same amount of money I spent on it. If you are a beginner, just get a bigger kit. This was a total waste. I don't know if my entire kit was just one giant quality control issue, or if the 5 star reviews just got lucky.The only positive I can say is that the wool seems to be normal quality wool from what I'm seeing in videos.

This is a decent felting kit for beginners. It comes with several metal felting tools, two leather finger protectors, a small scissors for trimming, black "eyes" for adding detail to pieces, six small bundles of wool roving material, and some sort of poker tool. I've worked on several pieces and have no problems with the tools. It took some experimenting to figure out how to use the scissors. I wish there were some basic instructions, or at the very list a list with the names of the tools (ei, I don't know what the poker tool is called). I have a related book to learn felting techniques, so this was not critical to me, but it would help anyone new to the hobby (or those who don't own a book).All in all, it's a good set for the money, so given my quibbles I don't regret buying it.

I purchased this to make a small needle felt project that was apart of a Christmas gift. It was just what I needed and comes with a great box that keeps everything neat and organized. The felt worked great and the selection of colors is perfect for a beginner's kit. With a quick YouTube tutorial, it's easy to get started and make an array of different creations and blend the wool if you needed a different color. I also really appreciated the tube to store the needles. The needles are really sharp and could easily see hurting myself without the proper storage. If you're looking to try something new, I highly suggest starting with this kit. It's not a huge investment and it's small enough that it can easily be stored when not in use.

My only complaint is that there was not gift of talent included in kit. Lol

I am new to needle felting and this is the kit I decided to start with, after reading many reviews of this and other kits. The needles are ok, but as a beginner, I find them very easy to break. I think thst is more my fault than the needles! The leather finger covers are a MUST!!! The foam needle block may seem cheap - I actually had large sections of this very same foam in a shipping box, but I had no idea what it could be ussed for in needle felting! I actualjy bought another felting base, but then found this is actually better for some projects. Overall, the kit is a good starter kit!

Used this to make a small rabbit for an art piece I did. Easy to use and while the art is time-consuming I was able to make what I needed pretty easily and I did enjoy the process.
