Highland Cow Needle Felting Kit

From the base shapes to the bell on the collar, everything the Highland cow needs is included.

• Polystyrene shapes as the base of the figure
• Felting wool in several colours, including light brown, dark brown, pink, white, black and yellow
• Felting needles for compacting the wool
• Yarn
• Mini bell
• Thread and sewing needle
• Instructions
• Pack size 14 x 20 x 7 cm, weight 110 g
• Made in China

The whole kit weighs 110 g and comes in a flat box measuring 14 x 20 x 7 cm, which is easy to wrap.

The cow turns out light brown, with a darker tuft falling over its forehead and into its eyes. A flower crown sits on its head and a blue collar with a golden bell goes around its neck. A hanging loop is part of the design, so the figure can hang from a hook, a branch or the Christmas tree.

The felting wool comes in several colours, including light brown, dark brown, pink, white, black and yellow. Because every stitch is placed by hand, each cow comes out slightly differently, as the shaggy locks, the angle of the head and the transitions between the colours are all handwork.

The kit is for anyone who likes working with their hands and fancies something other than knitting or painting. If you collect craft kits, needle felting is a technique to add to the list, and Highland cow fans get a figure to make themselves. It works just as well as a small gift, a birthday present or a Christmas present as it does as creative time out for yourself.

The felting needles are sharp. Work with your full attention, keep your fingers to the side of the spot you are piercing and store the needles where small children cannot reach them.

Follow the instructions from the pack while you work, as they guide you through the Highland cow. With wool, needles, yarn and bell already together, all you need is a clear table and some time before you begin.

As a present, the flat box can be wrapped just as it is, because the person receiving it needs nothing else. Once the cow is finished, hang it up by its loop, on the Christmas tree in December or on a hook or branch at any other time.
