Shape Racoon with this Charivna Mit needle felting kit a bright-eyed raccoon in gray and charcoal wool with its signature masked face and ringed tail, holding a fishing rod baited with a felted orange fish.
Why this kit: the felt pieces create a soft dimensional finish; the templates and stitch guide make the project approachable; the finished ornament or hoop art is easy to display or give as a handmade gift.
Kit includes: color pattern, instruction chart, Corriedale wool in 3 colors, 2 felting needles, Preciosa beads in 1 color, and cotton embroidery thread in 1 color. Made in Ukraine.
Needle felting is worked by layering small tufts of wool and repeatedly poking them with a barbed felting needle, which tangles the fibers together and gradually compacts and shapes them into a firm 3D form. Work section by section the head, body, tail, and paws following the included instructions, adding the bead eyes and embroidery-thread fishing line once the base shape is felted.
Finished size: 12.5x17 cm (4.92x6.69 in). A charming 3D project and a playful handmade gift or collectible for animal lovers.
