Felting Needles

Must-Have Tool for Needle Felters

A felting needle features small barbs on one end which, when poked through fibre, push the strands of the fibre together.

Felting needles are a valuable tool for those who enjoy felting. Felting is a process of transforming fibres into a dense material by repeatedly stabbing them with a barbed needle. Felting needles come in various shapes and sizes to create different effects on the wool fibres.

Types of Felting Needles

Felting needles are an essential tool for anyone interested in felting. Each type of felting needle serves a unique purpose, and understanding the differences between them can help you achieve the desired effect in your felted projects.
