Seascape Cliffs and Waves Wool Painting Needle Felting Kit by Charivna Mit V-65C

Paint Seascape Cliffs and Waves in wool with this wool painting kit by Charivna Mit: rugged ochre cliffs, crashing turquoise waves and a small sailboat under a cloudy sky.

Felters say the sea is the most rewarding thing to paint in wool, because white fibers teased over blue make foam that seems to move.

Why this kit: wool painting needs no drawing skills: the color pattern shows where each shade goes, so you lay thin wisps of wool like brushstrokes and the picture comes together in soft layers. 18 shades of wool give it real depth, so it is a relaxing project for a few evenings rather than an afternoon.

Kit includes: a felt base, 18 colors of Corriedale wool, 2 felting needles, a color pattern and an instruction chart. Made in Ukraine. Not included: a picture frame, a foam felting pad and small scissors.

How to felt it: start with the sky and background, laying thin, even layers of wool over the base and felting them flat with light, straight jabs. Then add the middle ground, and finish with the raised details, rolling small tufts into rocks, waves and foam before felting them in place. Keep the needle upright so it does not snap, and store it safely after use.

Finished size: about 15.5×26 cm (6.1×10.2 in), frame not included. Hang it in a living room, bedroom or hallway, or frame it as a homemade gift for nature lovers, travelers and friends. Recommended for ages 14 and up; the felting needles are very sharp, so keep them away from young children.
