About Us

Claire started needle felting as a hobby back in 2010 and went on to run workshops at her friend, Debs, sewing shop. From there the business grew into Claire’s Crafts; the one stop shop that aims to cater for all your needle felting needs. If there’s something you are looking for that isn’t on our website please ask and we will do our best to source it for you. We only sell materials and tools that have been tried and tested in our workshops or have been requested/recommended by our customers. Recently Claire’s husband, Steve, joined the business. Steve is in charge of weighing and sorting alongside processing the orders and getting them out the same day!

Here at Claire’s Crafts we LOVE introducing people to the fascinating art of needle felting and watching them discover the world of possibilities open up before their eyes and we are great believers in the therapeutic benefits of crafting. We don’t believe in ‘trade secrets’ here; our policy is to share as much information and encourage as many people as possible to try this amazingly mindful craft.
