**FAQ**
1. What is needle felting?
Felting is one of the oldest fiber crafts, it is a process to create an object made with wool fibers. There are two types- one is dry (needle) felting and the other one is wet felting. This video shows the creations I made with dry felting, this process uses a special barbed needle to create friction between the fibers when you use the needle to poke them up and down. This allows the fibers to tangle together and creates a volume. There is no rule to needle felting, however safety is very important and always watch what you are doing.
2. Which needle did you use?
I used a size 38 star needle.

"Hey how did you make that?" "I stabbed the shit out of it"
-
well can’t wait to do this for a week, say in passionate about it, never gonna stop, gonna turn it into a career then forget it even exists.
-
I felt glad when you said,"the process is not about speed." I always take at least 2-3 days just to make something w/ needle Felting! ^^;
-
I'd set the record for puncture wounds in 15 minutes doing this.
-
I admire anyone who has this hobby. I wouldn't have the patience, lol.
-
That light pink is such a heartfelt color! See what I did there? I’ll go home
-
I'm supposed to be doing homework, and I'm here
-
Thank you so much
-
Am I the only one who could see myself miserably failing at this?
-
yes, when I first started it took me hours to make some stuff... but if you know what you are doing it should be faster.
-
I wanted to learn what needle felting was and your video perfectly answered that question. I am not a crafty person, but watching this makes me want to give it a go! Your video is very well done, NICE JOB! :)
-
I just got into needle felting, and I had no idea that there were specific needles for this. Thank you for the neat tips as well! 💖💖💖
-
Sure, that's totally up to you. I find needle felting soothing and fun, no trouble at all! I can create whatever I want with the needle, it's more flexible than knitting. It is labour-intense, but that's what makes it special from other fiber arts, and you'll feel a great sense of self-accomplishment when you finish a great piece of work!
-
When my friend talked about how she was needle felting it sounded like a really mystical process. Now I know it consists of poking wool a bunch I think I've discovered a more cathartic version of knitting. Is that right? XD
-
I’ve been binge watching felting videos today and I like this one for the details not in other videos. Simplicity is lovely 💗
-
Thank you sooooo much for this wonderful and beneficial video. You know how to make a video and it helped me a lot. I especially like that you played calm music which enhanced, not distracted me from learning. Also, you captioned the video as you worked each step (close range) from start to finish. I especially like the fact that you showed the needle varieties up close because other tutorial videos never show what a needle looks like nor the varieties available. THANK YOU!
-
Good question! This heart took me around 15 mins to make
-
Thank you so much for this simple, pretty, enjoyable introduction. A lot of the other videos were just more information than I was looking for.
-
my kit came today and I'm so excited got it from amazon for £9 with 36 wools and a bunch of needles and other things
