HANDMADE HEAVEN

If you're in the middle of a big knitting project or you've just finished something off, it's often quite nice to change things up a bit and have a dabble in a quick alternative craft project. We fell in love with Hawthorne Handmade's gorgeous embroidery and mini needle felting kits and thought it would be lovely to have a few in stock for days when you're not in a knitting mood. They make wonderful gifts too- either made up in to a brooch or finished hoop wall hanging, or simply give it unfinished to a crafty friend where we're certain it will be well received.
There are six designs for the embroidery kits. Choose from: Folk Blossom, Seedhead, Unicorn, Cat, Wildwood and Puffin. All the kits come with colourful threads, a 7” embroidery hoop and easy to follow stitch guide and instructions. With the simple illustrations included even needlework novices will be able to create their own beautiful piece of work - and find great satisfaction doing it.
The gorgeous mini felting kits come in four designs: Fox, Owl, Bee and Sheep:
A great quick craft project for beginners, our new mini needle felting kits come with wool, felting needles and easy-to-follow instructions to make sweet little creatures that look great adorning coats, bags, scarves and more. And even better news, they use British wool! Click here to browse the range and get more details.
If you're new to embroidery or needle felting, you can our Alison demonstrating both using these new kits at our Christmas Launch on Thursday 15th November.
