Gnomes in a Hoop Needle Felting Craft Kit

Gnomes have lives outside the holidays, too.

The Gnomes in a Hoop Needle Felting Craft Kit from The Crafty Kit Company gives you everything you need to create a wonderfully whimsical 2D scene using wool, texture, and a felting needle.

Working on wool-mix felt fabric inside a 15 cm wooden embroidery hoop, you'll use colorful Corriedale wool to build your gnomes one layer at a time—essentially painting with wool. Full-color instructions guide you through the process, while the included chalk helps you plan your design before the felting begins.

Designed for beginners and beyond, the project takes approximately two hours, making it an approachable introduction to 2D needle felting or a satisfying afternoon project for an experienced maker.

When you're finished, leave your woolly little residents right in their hoop and put them on display.

Why We Love It

We support year-round gnomes.

The world has unfairly confined them to approximately six weeks of the calendar, when clearly a tiny bearded person in an excellent hat has plenty to contribute in March.

Beyond our firm position on gnome seasonality, we like this kit as another approachable way to explore painting with wool. You're working with color, shape, layering, and texture rather than constructing a three-dimensional figure, and the included hoop gives the project both a working surface and its eventual frame.

Two hours later: art for the wall.

Gnome-related calendar restrictions: none.
