Perfect starter pack

Buying this fleece gave me the confidence to try needle felting. The quantities are perfect and a great range of colours (though I'd love to see a bright yellow join the collection). Love the thoughtful packaging!

Fun fleece

The egg carton wool fleece is a wonderful quality, great colours and has such fun and eco friendly packaging. Well priced and a joy to use.

I love having my egg carton around the sewing room. It engages my children's imagination about recycling/upcycling and because they are familiar with the egg carton, they were not shy to open it up which led to them wanting to learn felting.
My son fixed up his own hole in his favourite Lego t-shirt.

Great Value

Huge amount of wool, cleverly packaged, and much cheaper than well known chain stores.

Wool fleece is puffy, fluffy wool that has been scoured (cleaned) but not spun into yarn – perfect for needle-felting repairs. Corriedale wool fleece (30 micron) is coarser than merino and sticks to itself more readily, making it easier to felt with.

I’ve chosen a dozen delicious colours for the Modern Mending fleece range, so it seemed natural to package them in preloved egg cartons. If you select the dozen you’ll get all 12 colours and have enough wool fleece to last you years. For the half-dozen, you'll get six surprise colours chosen by me. Each fleece ‘egg’ weighs just under 3g.

This product is 100% wool* produced and processed in New Zealand from New Zealand Corriedale sheep that have been well cared for and not mulesed. It is packaged in repurposed egg cartons collected from my friends and neighbours and is available until I run out of egg cartons.

Want to see how it’s done? Modern Mending the book includes more than 20 pages of detailed needle-felting instructions, tips and inspiration.

* Tiny chickens not included.

** modernmending.com will not be held responsible if tiny chickens hatch from wool 'eggs' in transit (#sorrynotsorry).

Weekly dispatch

This shop dispatches orders once a week so I can do alllll the things – including running this shop and running after two tiny tots – and enjoy my life. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.

I have a new work and childcare schedule for 2024 and am still working out the best schedule for postal dispatches; please allow approximately one week from time of purchase while I figure it all out.

Shipping carrier

I ship via Australia Post because it’s reliable, trackable and carbon-neutral

If you select Express Post at checkout, it will speed up Australia Post's delivery timeframe but won't speed up my process.

After your order has been packed, you will receive an email notification with your Australia Post tracking number, which you can use to check on the delivery status of your order.

International customers: click here for current Australia Post international delivery timeframes.

Shipping fees

I don’t offer free shipping because there is no such thing as free shipping. Someone has to pay the cost for postage.

Shipping is currently a flat rate of $12 within Australia ($17 Express Post); international shipping is calculated at checkout. Gift cards are delivered electronically and do not require shipping. 

International shipping

I ship worldwide with the exception of the UK, due to VAT regulations that came into effect on 1 January 2021. If you are in the UK you can order the UK edition of my book from your local bookshop.

Local delivery

Customers in Northcote, Thornbury and nearby suburbs (subject to capacity) can select local delivery at checkout. Local delivery is extra-slow and coincides with my pram-walking/kid-wrangling schedule, up to one week after purchase. ٩(。•́‿•̀。)۶

I choose to reuse

When shipping orders my first priority is to reuse packaging materials whenever possible – boxes, padded mailers, cardboard, paper, tissue paper, bubble wrap and egg cartons from neighbours, second-hand shops and recycling centres. I cannot guarantee the materials used to ship your order will be plastic-free for this reason.

My tags and labels are stamped by hand onto compostable paper tape or preloved cardboard packaging.

I buy recycled packaging

If I don’t have suitable second-hand packaging to use for your order, my next priority is packaging made from recycled materials. It's important to me to support Australian companies making good products from our recyclables, and to make sure that material gets a second life.

Tape

I use compostable, gummed kraft-paper tape to seal my parcels whenever possible. I have a second-hand tape wetter that I love, purchased from my local op shop. Gummed paper tape is available at most art-supply shops if you want to make the switch yourself!

Express Post orders will have official plastic "Express Post" tape added.

International orders with many items will have a plastic pocket taped to them, to accommodate additional paperwork required by customs.

Individual product packaging

Every item for sale on this website has its packaging components listed and in most cases photographed, so you can make an informed decision.

Upstream packaging

When I speak to my suppliers I specifically ask that my orders be supplied to me without plastic packaging, whenever possible, to avoid waste and single-use plastic. This isn’t always possible, but I’ll keep asking, forever.

Here's how one of my suppliers has my name recorded in its database:
