Details of how the Monthly Menagerie Felting Club works

This is a flexible subscription box. If you only want to order one box, that’s not a problem. You can dip in and out or you can take advantage of the discounted 3 and 6 month subscriptions.

  • One month subscription = £25
  • Three Month subscription = £69 (equivalent to £23 per month)
  • Six month subscription = £126 (equivalent to £21 per month)

Postage to the UK is included in the subscription price. There is an additional postage charge of £3.50 per month for overseas subscribers.

Each project will be delivered in the month that it is due. So, for example, Mouse will be in the post at the beginning of October and the foxy box will be in the post at the beginning of January. Each project also has an order cut off date and you won’t be able to place your order after that date.

If you fancy having a stab at making mouse (terrible needle felting pun slipped in there) you must place your order by September 28th. After that he won’t be available for another 6-12 months.

You can pre-order any of the projects or sign up to the newsletter to receive a wee reminder each month to let you know what’s coming next.

Of course if you sign up to a 3 or six month subscription you don’t have to worry about deadlines as you will automatically receive your wee box of fluff and stuff each month.

As a subscriber to the Monthly Menagerie Felting Club you can make as many copies of the designs that you wish for personal use. So you can make them for yourself and for friends and family – and what a fantastic gift they would make. You are not entitled to make any for commercial use.
