Not your Grandma’s Needle Felting Kits

At BaconAstro, our craft is dissent.

Who needs billionaires when you’ve got billions of ideas? Who needs perfect and boring when you can f**k up fluff for fun?

Our small-batch, DIY needle-felting kits made with U.S.-sourced 100% wool and the guts to prove that art's not only meant to be seen or heard. It needs to be felt.

Join us in stitching a sillier (and softer) future one stab at a time.

ABOUT ALLISON

I'm just a gapped tooth girl who likes to make a mess. I started this shop at my kitchen table to give people a fun and easy way to learn how to needle felt during a time where rage relief and offline hobbies are mandatory self care.

WHY CRAFT HERE

Most needle felting kits (especially the ones on Amazon) are filled with plastic, synthetic wool, real boring stuff, or they’re outrageously expensive.

BaconAstro was crafted the way I’ve built everything: by hand, with stubborn care, and with a whole lot of middle fingers to overpriced boxes stuffed with factory asbestos. I wanted something human.

Our Kits are Weird. Funny. Sustainable. Worthwhile.
