We share an abundance of tips and techniques in our popular workshops; however, if you’re unable to get to these, here are a few hints and pointers that we think will help you in your needle-felting endeavours.

 

• Before you begin, rub the wool you’re about to use between your fingers. This loosens the individual fibres.

​

• Some people use foam as a cushion when felting; however, this quickly disintegrates and becomes punctured. Hessian rice pillows make the perfect surface, these can be found in my online store.

​

• Make quick, shallow stabs into the felt, as the hooks and barbs are towards the tips of most needles.
