Though I must admit, needle felting is expensive in North America. Heck, almost all of the craft projects I want to do are expensive here. I have seen a very small felting project for children on sale for $14 at Michaels and it is not even that cute. Though if you look on Rakuten global, you see so much more offered from Japan at a much lower price. Even if you look on eBay, the same kits from Japan is selling at twice the value you get from Rakuten.. I am so surprised at how expensive crafts are outside of Asia..
