Needle Felting Dolls

I have every one of Roz and Judy’s books – or The Woolly Felters as they are known and with every one I just wonder how they can better the previous one but they do! Just like their previous titles this one starts simple and works up to the more complex figures. It doesn’t matter if you have never done any needle felting before, as everything is very clearly laid out as to what is needed and the photography is just superb detailing each step along the way.

If you want to replicate what’s in the book there’s instructions to do that but even better you can go further and learn how to personalise your makes so that they resemble you or your family and friends! It’s such a great fun book full of the authors' personalities and sense of fun and I highly recommend following them as The Woolly Felters on Facebook too to see more of their creations and fun tales that their characters get up to as this will only enhance your own creativity!

All in all another fantastic book and I will say it again – how on earth are will they top this one?!

It's thanks to these ladies that I discovered this amazing craft. I now teach felting workshops and am completely obsessed with needle felting!

I love making people and consider myself an experienced felter but when I saw they were bringing out a book on dolls, I couldn't resist! It's so comprehensive, even if you've never felted before you could still start with this book. It then takes you through several projects of increasing skill to very detailed, beautiful dolls.

Unlike most craft books, I want to make every single project in here. The instructions and pictures are fab. Hands down, this is by far the best, I don't think you'd need any others!

I’ve only just recently begun needle felting but I’m already hooked. I started with a Roz and Judy book Needle Felting for Beginners and was impressed with it, so I ordered this in advance. It was definitely worth waiting for as I’ve received it this afternoon and I’ve had my nose in it for a few hours now.

It takes you from a basic figure through ever more advanced ones to what I would consider very advanced figures and faces. The instructions and photos are excellent, very clear and detailed, which means even I’m going to feel pretty confident at having a go at all of them.

There are plenty of tips and even instructions on how to make needle felted eyes, rather than using glass ones or black beads and also mouths with open lips and teeth. The “Mother Earth” doll especially, has really inspired me to make a variation myself.

All in all, a fantastic book and should be on every needle felters book shelf. Many thanks to Roz and Judy and I wait with baited breath for their next book.

There are no better needle felting tutorials to be found, than those by our very own well loved "Woolly Felters." I have all their books and they are all superb.

Not only are Roz and Judy excellent needle felters, they also are blessed with the exceptional skill of being able to convey their talent in the most thorough, and simply formulated way. They have this knack for being able to completely get inside the head of the total beginner and ensure that you can understand the instructions and have complete success, whilst still remaining completely relevant to the more experienced felter. All this without being condescending too!

There are no other books or tutorials out there that I am aware of, that teach you how to make realistic figures of real life people. The skill of these two sisters has to be seen to be believed. Just look at the back cover of the book if you don't believe me. You instantly know who they are!

From personal experience, I firmly believe that their books are the only ones that you need for total needle felting success.
