What's needle felting?

            Felting is a non-woven process where woollen fibres are matted, condensed and pressed.

There are two felting processes: wet felting, with warm water and soap, or needle felting, with a barbed needle.

Needle felting or dry felting is when wool fleece is interlocked and compacted by using pointed, barbed needles to sculpt a shape.

This technique is used to make all types of items such as bags, slippers, teddy bears, jewellery… But it is especially good at sculpting small items in 3D with fine detail.

Needle felting is a fun fibre-art suitable for every body: the technique is simple, the material is cheap, just few tools are needed, the working surface is small and the process is clean and tidy.

Because of its wide range of applications and how simple is to work with it, Needle felting is the perfect craft option for all craft lovers.
