About Us

For the love of needle felting.

Woolbuddy is where the art of needle felting meets heartfelt craftsmanship. We create handmade, needle-felted wool toys, ornaments, and supplies that spark creativity and bring joy to every home.

Our Story

Our story begins with a father’s love. Jackie Huang, a former Lucasfilm 3D story artist and art teacher, was inspired to create something truly special for his newborn daughter. Unable to find toys that felt personal and meaningful, Jackie turned to his passion for needle felting to craft one-of-a-kind toys by hand. What started as a labor of love for his daughter blossomed into a vibrant collection of needle-felted creations that delight children and adults alike. Today, Jackie and the Woolbuddy team continue to share the joy of handmade craftsmanship with families everywhere.
