Join Our Needle Felt Cat Workshop
Fancy needle felting a fabulously quirky cat in bright colours, bold patterns, and full of personality? If so, your tutor, Angela, is looking forward to welcoming you and sharing a fun, relaxed day to create your very own needle felt cat, where you’ll bring a tall, slender and slightly comical cat to life, in any colour you choose!
This is not about making a realistic cat … it’s about creating a funky character full of charm. Think quirky, playful and totally unique to you.
What You’ll Do
Start with a pre-made core body shape and tail (so you can jump straight into the fun part!)
Build your needle felt cat’s head, legs and tail using core wool
Add coloured wool in your chosen shade (pink, blue, black, rainbow… anything goes!)
Create funky patterns like flowers, dots, stripes, shapes and swirls
Needle felt facial features to give your cat real personality
