As the nights draw in and the British weather gets so cold that all we can do is cosy up in our living rooms, it might just be the perfect time to start a new craft. Here at Milners we have a wide selection of needle felting and embroidery kits, all designed for sewers of any ability - including those who have never picked a needle up in their life!
We have two different brands for you to choose from, the first one being Hawthorn Handmade; an all female team who include the finest British wool in their needle felting kits, in order for you to create your beautiful contemporary little wool sculpture. We also hold some of their embroidery, cross stitch and felt craft brooch kits for you to try!
Corinne Lapierre, our second brand, create all of their kits here in Yorkshire, and you will find that their unique designs are inspired by nature and folk. Choose from their felt craft, embroidery and applique hoop kits! Whichever one you decide to try your hand at, they all come complete with everything you’ll need to finish your project.
We don’t like to mention the C word so early (or maybe we do!!), but if you’re already starting to think about festive gift ideas - and we know some of you are! - your crafty creations make very special and thoughtful presents to loved ones. From Hawthorn’s Baby Penguin wool sculpture to Corinne’s Embroidered Heart that can be hung as a bauble, we know that your friends and family will love to receive your masterpiece this Christmas!
So, if you think you’ll find yourself longing for something to do on those dark nights other than rewatching that same series on Netflix for the 36th time, why not take a dive into the world of sewing and keep your hands busy and mind free, all whilst learning a new skill!
