Great mix of colours

I hand knit then create felted hats. I have used a brad for convenience and put them onto some of my hats. Brilliant..so pleased.

Great quality and customer service

I bought a cat slipper kit to make for my son’s birthday (he’s 42 and has huge feet!) but mislaid 2 of the eyes. A quick ‘chat’ and they were replaced, along with some spares, in double quick time.
I’m just about to order some for the grandchildren now. So glad I found Joe’s Toes at one of Farnham Maltings’ craft fairs.

This is my second order: made several for small gifts for friends. Easy to make. Felt is high quality and, unlike my photo, the colors EXACTLY as shown on the website!

Felt Christmas trees

I have bought these on a couple of occasions to make tree decorations, I embroider names on them and embellish with little stars and sequins . The felt is good quality , well cut and available in a variety of colours. It is a very friendly and prompt ordering service. I will most definately be ordering again.

Xmas Bunting

I have bought a selection of felt pieces to decorate and make into bunting for Xmas gifts. The felt is thick and holds it's shape but is quite easy to sew through with a sharp needle.

Alternative to fringing?

I bought a selection of autumnal leaves and used them as fringing on a scarf I knitted. Excellent quality and with sufficient weight to encourage the scarf to sit well. I bought more than I needed so plenty for a brooch among other things. And once I decided what I wanted and ordered, delivery was prompt. A brilliant product! I'm very impressed and pleased with all the shapes.

Enjoyed using this felt oval.

Used the very easy to follow bag pattern with some oddments of cotton yarn and ended up with a lovely bag. I think this won't be the only one I make!

Fabulous felt.

Found this company at The Wool Show in Birmingham a couple of weeks before Christmas and bought a few bits from them. One thing that stood out and impressed me was that they encourage you to take photos of their displays so you can create something at home. Not many craft stalls let you do that. So I ordered a box of goodies, really good quality felt shapes that I plan to embellish and make into bunting. The pieces already have holes in them for yarn or threads. Looking forward to starting on these and yes I've got Christmas trees and gingerbread men to get a head start on next Christmas.
