Needle felting is a relaxing craft where you sculpt loose wool fibers into solid shapes. By repeatedly poking the wool with a special notched needle, the tiny barbs catch the wool strands, tangling and locking them tightly together.
Five essentials, and you're ready to begin.
A 9 × 9 in, 1 in thick foam base that protects your work surface and keeps needles from snapping mid-poke.
Premium 100% merino wool, packed in 40g bundles across a full range of colors — the raw material for every piece.
Barbed needles in three gauges — 36 for coarse, fast work, 38 for all-purpose detailing, and 40 for fine finishing.
A snug, capped case that keeps loose needles contained and safe between sessions.
Soft synthetic leather guards that slip over your fingertips to protect against accidental pokes.
Roll a small clump of loose wool into a rough ball or cylinder.
Place the wool on your foam mat and poke it straight up and down.
As you poke, the wool shrinks and hardens. Turn the shape as you work to keep it even.
Layer on colored wool for eyes, ears, patterns, or patches, poking gently until attached to form the final design.
You don't need prior crafting experience to make your first miniature animal or decorative ornament.
The rhythmic poking action is a great way to relieve stress and focus your mind.
