How does a felting needle work?

A felting needle has barbs that catch and move fibers as the needle repeatedly enters the material. This mechanically bonds wool fibers, wool yarn, or other suitable materials to a base fabric, creating decorative felting effects.

Suitable materials

• felt;
• wool fabrics and wool-blend fabrics;
• wool fibers and wool roving;
• wool yarn;
• denim for decorative and vintage effects;
• other materials, if permitted by the felting machine being used.

Felting materials with different colors on each side can create interesting dimensional and vintage effects. Felting can also be combined with sewing, embroidery, beads, ribbons, and other decorative elements.

Please note: These needles have no eye, so they are not designed for regular sewing with thread.
