| 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. A lot of the kits come with everything you need to get started and you won’t have to worry about missing anything. |

Premium Wool
Romney Wool is my favorite kind for needle felting, as it's coarseness felts quickly and
smoothly, which minimizes needle holes from showing.

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) 38s and (2) 40s
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) 38s
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
the tool I use for doing a lot of 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.

6-needle Tool - $27
This tool is high quality aluminum with a removable screw top,
allowing you to replace the needles with any size felting needle.
The removable top also means this versatile tool can be used with
any quantity of needles, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, depending on the size of
your project. It comes with 6 multi purpose 38 gauge needles
included. If you have never used a tool before, this will
revolutionize the way you needle felt. Imagine working at 6 times
the speed of a single needle!! It’s a speed demon and saves real
wear and tear of your hand and wrist. This tool allows me to do
everything from doll bodies to tree stumps. A real must if you
want to do sculptural felting.

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”

| Needle Felting Project Instructions by Patti Michaels |
These needle felting instructions
are designed for adults and
children age 12 and up. There are
serious safety issues with needle
felting and although very small
children are physically capable of
poking a felting needle they lack
the consciousness to prevent poking
themselves, as well. These kits
are especially inappropriate for
young children because of the
multi-needle tool used.

This is great for beginners. These instructions will take you
through the techniques for creating a smooth, evenly felted mat

hazard.
