| Needle felting is a relatively new craft but has caught on like wild fire. It’s easy, fun and inexpensive. Oh, and possibly addicting. If you’re a novice who has never needle felted before I recommend buying one of the kits listed on the "Kits" page. The kits come with everything you need to get started and you won’t have to worry about missing supplies! |
***Suggested Wool;
Romney Wool is great for needle felting, as it's
coarseness felts quickly and smoothly, and
minimizes the appearance of needle holes. (It is
a 'long fiber' wool which is best for needlefelting
versus wet felting.) Colors listed are for
suggestions only...

Felting Needles and Foam Work Boards
When buying felting needles you should always buy at least 2 of any kind of needle.
Having a spare needle on hand after you break one will prevent leaving projects half
finished. Even better, is to remember NEVER to bend the needle when poking to
avoid breakage.

Needle Multi-packs – $5
(2) 38 gauge traingle and (2) 40 gauge triangle
This combination gives you the two most
frequently used felting needle sizes. The size
38 needles are a multi purpose size and are
good for all kinds of wool. The size 40 needles
are perfect for fine, silky wool (like merino or
corriedale) or for doing finishing work, when
you want to minimize the visibility of holes.

Needle multi-packs – $5
(4) 38 gauge, triangle
This is a 4-pack set of the most commonly
used needle size, 38 gauge. This size works
for any kind of wool and is known as a
versatile, multi-purpose needle. If you are
going to have only one kind of needle on hand,
this one will do. However, if you do like to use
a lot of finer, silkier wool (like merino or
corriedale) you might want to consider the
other needle multi-pack, which has 2 38 gauge
and 2 40 gauge (for finer wool) needles.

2-needle Tool - $17
This tool is high quality aluminum with a
removable screw top, allowing you to
replace the needles with any size felting
needle. It comes with 2 multi-purpose 38
gauge needles included. This is my favorite
tool I use for sculpting and shaping work
like the tree bark on my playscapes or the
waistlines on my dolls. Not only does it
work twice as quickly as using a single
needle alone, it also allows for a
comfortable hand grip.

Foam Work Board - $4
This is high grade foam, the sort found in
electronics packaging. It’s nice and stiff to
allow you to work on your lap and yet does
not degrade quickly. The density of the
foam allows your needle to penetrate
without resistance and be removed quickly
without slowing down your felting. A foam
work surface is a must for needle felting
and this is the best quality foam I’ve found
for my work. Dimensions: 9” x 11 ½” x 1 ¼”

These needle felting instructions
are designed for adults and
children age 12 and up. There
are serious safety issues with

small children are physically
capable of poking a felting
needle they lack the
consciousness to prevent poking
themselves, as well.
