Thanks for another great tutorial video, Philippa! The time lapse is really helpful for seeing how to properly felt things together from beginning to end without actually having to watch a 45+ minute video!
OMG! Love these! I had never seen that breed of cow until a couple years ago! University of Michigan had some! Wading in the pond as it was 95 degrees! They’re beautiful little creatures! Well, maybe not little!
Beautiful!!! I've found if you bend the ends of the pipe cleaners over just a tiny bit, the ends are blunt and you don't have to worry about sharp ends, just a thought if you wanted to try it. Thank you for sharing!!
I am so happy to have found your channel! I raise 20 head of wool sheep (love my teeswater locks) as well as merino cross sheep wish super lovely wool. I've been wanting to learn how to do this! Thank you!
This is fascinating. I’ve never tried felting but can see so many possibilities. If I can make a recommendation, it’s to cut out the music as it really detracts from the video and what you’re saying (the fast pace of the music is also tension-inducing).
Hi I adore the minis, I have been felting for 3years and am still learning, you have helped me alot thank you. I keep finding more of your videos, It's great. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so thankful that youtube brought you up on my computer. I've jsut received my needle felting kid and this will be my first project, before I will try the bigger sheep. I'm very interested in making sheep and angora goats. I hope to watch many more of your projects. You are just excellent in explaining. Thank you so much.
Thank you for telling me how much you charge and how long it takes to do. You made me realise that I need to focus on doing this as a hobby to relax instead of focusing on it as a side hustle!
It's definitely possible as a side hustle, I don't do commissions at present as they do take time and effort. It's much easier to make what you enjoy and sell. It's now my part time job but I do several passive earners by teaching felting too as I couldn't felt enough for a full time income x
I've been an admirer of yours since I discovered your tutorials in May. Today I decided to attempt a Highland Coo! I sincerely hope I do it justice. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I started needle felting a short while ago when my friend introduced me to it, and this video is really helpful for the highland cow. It's a good thing I watched it before I got very far into it. Thank you for the tutorial and I'm excited to look at your other videos!
Hi Philippa! Thank you for taking the time to introduce us beginners to felting. I am completely new to this hobby and am super excited to dive in. I am looking to order wool and was curious about how much wool you would recommend ordering for the sheep mini.
I am really glad to have found this channel! I am gonna watch a bunch of these clips to see if I want make the leap into doing this as a hobby. I need a less expensive hobby than my current one of doll collecting. I thought I might be able to make dolls or animal companions to go with the ones I have. That Scottish Highland Cow is so cute!
Thank you so much for the pipe cleaner tip! I’m a beginner and brought a kit that’s polystyrene and was really struggling with the arms and legs. Pipe cleaners worked perfectly! Thank you! 🤍
I just love this sooooo much. I just started and i am having sooo much fun….you have made it fun!!! Thank you so much for these amazing videos!,, you do phenomenal work!!!!
Thanks so much, very clear to follow. I don't know why i haven't used pipe cleaners before, it was so much easier and stood up so well! i added little hooves to the legs too :))
I looked up how to do a goat and came across this video I'll do a sheep shape but add horns lol, I'd just ordered wire and clay to do horns as I don't know what I'm doing lol but your idea is so much better using pipe cleaners, I learned needle felting the other day as bought a beehive pack from home bargains then I ordered goat colours and black to make goats and my black cat, thanks for this video I can't wait till my stuff arrives
I can't find the goat one your most recent videos are about a craft fair and needles breaking, when I search it even under your name this one comes up, have you got the link please or exact wording, thank you, Edit oh I re-read it Liongate farm did one thanks hopefully its for absolute beginners xx@@feltsbyphilippa
This has something I have wanted to do, as I see needle felting for dogs I would love to do my dogs and other animals. Thank you so much for sharing your videos, you make it look so easy ❤❤. I totally love the animals you made.
Omg... Just found ( & subscribed) to your lovely channel! I've wanted to try felting fur yrs now... So you def have inspired me xx ❤❤❤ thanks so much! ❤
bit of an update, i got a needle felting set! iv made some creations and my most recent was a mcdonalds fries, thank you for inspiring me, and i will update again one day
Loved watching you make these I'd always wondered what it was, your Highland cow was adorable and your sheep so cute. So went and got a kit just to do a pumpkin, so I'll give it a go. You never know I might love it.☺️🐾
I'm just starting felting, I'm really enjoying watching your tutorials they are very inspiring. Do you give links to buying the right wool please, many thanks for doing the tutorials & teaching.
Oh my gosh, these are the cutest! My college daughter and I are obsessed with the highland cow and would like to make a mini cow our first project. We are headed to Scotland in mid March; excited to see them in person too. I don't know if I can purchase the supplies in my town, is there someplace you have a list of supplies for a beginner to make two little cows that we could buy online? I'd like to work on simultaneously with her once she goes back to school next week. Your videos are amazing, just need a bit more guidance since this is our first project. thanks!
Hi, glad you like them, thanks. I do have a kit on my website for two little Highland cows otherwise maybe look on Etsy for a complete kit, then you get everything you need in one go, hope you enjoy Scotland, I'm off to Edinburgh tomorrow xx
@@feltsbyphilippa I thought I'd sent a followup message, but don't see it now. Those are super cute, but was hoping for us both to start on the small highland cows with legs and long hair, not the seated ones with swooped over hair. We will be in two locations, so would need two sets of starter items (needles, finger protectors, etc) Is there a way for you to create two kits for us with all needed items to buy on Etsy? I feel like that would be a great jumpstart for us....we live in a small city, so not sure where to even buy things locally. Doesn't have to be packaged as beautifully like your other kits are.
Love the videos. Just made a sheep! Nearly looks like a sheep. Going to try highland cow next. Want colour wool do you used for the cow? About to do a world of wool shop.
Hi Phillipa, I had a go at the sheep yesterday, my first ever felting attempt. I found the felting techniques fairly easy to master but I'm afraid my sheep came out looking a bit like a cross between a camel and a dachshund. I am going to have another go but I think it might help me (And others?) if you could include some measurements to help get things into the correct proportions, at least until we've got a bit more experience? Just a thought, thanks anyway XX
Hi Sharon, yes, completely agree, my more recent videos have measurements now so getting there. All my PDF'S in my shop are extremely thorough too with lots of measurements, they always have been, think this video was one of my earlier ones and I was learning how to do tutorials bit by bit, good luck with the next one, think I sent rough measurements last time but let me know and I'll work them out if not, thanks so much x
Phillapa, I've been using black wool for my Highland coo eyes, but want to try glass ones. Could you tell me which ones you would suggest? Brown? Black? No pupil?
I use black or brown for the Highland Cow and I get plastic ones from Celloexpress on Etsy. The dark brown with black pupils work very well with cows x
Hi Phillipa; I am curious if you prefer the look of the curls from this sheep or the boucle yarn effect on your more recent sheep? Ids there any way you can do a photo side by side on i g of you still own both?
Hi, I'm afraid I only have the recent sheep and I really like the effect of the boucle yarn as a definite easier way to apply and no washing wool etc. Mostly it's a cost thing as it's more expensive but I love the effect xx
@@feltsbyphilippa I had Sue make up a skein for me and it is too luscious for words. I can't wait to get started working on my sheep. Thanks again for the recommendation.
I have my very first time felting video which is real time, it's under my beginner playlist, hopefully that's a bit better, good luck with your starter kit x
That was a recent question on a facebook group I follow - you can use different fibres, not the same look and feel but still possible. There are polyester, acrylic, bamboo, silk, cotton, cat hair, alpaca, yak, angora, possibly more. Most people are allergic to the Lanonin in wool so it's possible to wear a mask and latex gloves and still felt maybe. I would call your wool supplier and ask what they have. I use World of Wool, UK and they have some vegan options, so obviously they are not wool. Hope that helps, it's a fab craft so worth investigating x
ive been meaning to make my furby into a dragon for a long while and I wantmed it to have a mane that looks like wysterias. Could you do a tutorial on flower petals and small clusters of things?
love your videos what size of needle are you using in the video and what length of pipe cleaner am just waiting on my wool would love to do the highland cow for my hubby he really loves them
Mostly I use a 38g triangular and the pipe cleaners are 30cm long when I purchase them, the cow is no more than 3-4 inches high in total, hope you enjoy making them xx
Hi Philippa what care advice would you give so that the fur doesn't become mused up when handled. I find people always pick my makes up and the silkiness goes from the fur.
I mainly use merino from World of wool and I've never had this problem but I have had other people mention it. I guess if you go for a fibre with a higher micron, it will be thicker and less likely to mat. I use a needle to gently comb out when at craft fairs and I transport items really carefully, can't help anymore apart from signs saying please do not touch x
I’ve just started felting and I cannot say how much your channel has helped me thanks so much gives me something to do in quarantine!💙
Thanks, that's so kind and we are really blessed with all the fantastic tutorials that UA-cam gives us, love your comment and thank you for watching x
Sameee
Oh my gosh that got me- “you don’t need much on the tummy, not many people look on the tummy.”
Glad you liked it, would someone look at the tummy and complain! Hope not x
Just waiting on my starter pack to come , i can't wait to do the Highland coo and Sheep. thank you .
Hope you enjoy it x
Thanks for another great tutorial video, Philippa! The time lapse is really helpful for seeing how to properly felt things together from beginning to end without actually having to watch a 45+ minute video!
Thank you, I still think my videos are too long but can't go any faster or you will miss it all, glad you enjoy them x
OMG! Love these! I had never seen that breed of cow until a couple years ago! University of Michigan had some! Wading in the pond as it was 95 degrees! They’re beautiful little creatures! Well, maybe not little!
They are certainly beautiful and very pretty (in my head anyway) but I don't think I could even own one with those horns! Thanks for watching x
Beautiful!!! I've found if you bend the ends of the pipe cleaners over just a tiny bit, the ends are blunt and you don't have to worry about sharp ends, just a thought if you wanted to try it. Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks, very good tip, they can be quite sharp! X
Moral of the story "It wasn't fluffy enough so I added more"
The more, the better! X
Thank you for the tutorial. My niece just gave me a kit to do small items so I see I need much more to watching all these tutorials
@ShirleyStone-be7yc Glad it helped x
I am so happy to have found your channel! I raise 20 head of wool sheep (love my teeswater locks) as well as merino cross sheep wish super lovely wool. I've been wanting to learn how to do this! Thank you!
Thank you and how wonderful to have such a lovely flock, I have several sheep videos in my sheep playlist is you need some more ideas for the locks xx
This is fascinating. I’ve never tried felting but can see so many possibilities. If I can make a recommendation, it’s to cut out the music as it really detracts from the video and what you’re saying (the fast pace of the music is also tension-inducing).

Hi Philippa! Thank you for taking the time to introduce us beginners to felting. I am completely new to this hobby and am super excited to dive in. I am looking to order wool and was curious about how much wool you would recommend ordering for the sheep mini.
Not much for him at all, I would say 20 to 30 grams should be plenty, thank you for your lovely comment and good luck with felting, I love it x
I find it so relaxing watching you felting. I feel inspired to give it a go.
Definitely have a go, it's very therapeutic, hope it goes well x
I like the speeded up presentation. Fab!

Want colour wool do you used for the cow? About to do a world of wool shop.
a list of items, links, and colors used would be very useful for viewers who want to try to replicate.
Can you do a lama plz

Yes, people do but I have never tried rabbit fur, it might be quite fine and take a while but definitely give it a go x

thankyou@@feltsbyphilippa
What type of wool would I use to make this please?
For the sheep I used a Lincolnshire long wool actual locks I think and the cow is a merino top xx
The bag of carded wool you have to hand…what weight is better? The 25g seem a costly way to do it.
I purchase a lot of batts in 200 gram bags for the best price x

Can you do some videos of needle felting with out pipe cleaners?? Just because some people do not have pipe cleaners who watch this.Thanks!
