This is a great entry level needle felting kit. Besides full color instructions with loads of photographs, each kit comes with: white core wool for 2 mice C-1 wool in a variety of other colors for decoration wire for armature 2 needle felting needles You will still need a foam pad surface as a work surface. For foam, I use high density (green) foam found in most fabric shops. You can purchase a pad here on my site as well.
