Needle felting uses barbed needles to stab and tangle the wool fibers together, also known as dry felting. It’s begun by rolling up a small amount of wool and stabbing it with the needle. When the wool is stabbed with the felting needle, it pulls the wool into itself. By stabbing the wool with the needle over and over while turning the wool it continues to pull wool into itself and the wool, with its tiny scales, locks together - Continued stabbing and turning results in a firm round shape. Once there is a basic shape to start with, wool is added where it is needed to form a sculpture.

Needle felting, even for small projects (the brooch or magnet we made is just 3 inches in diameter or so), takes a long time. These projects take about 7 hours to complete. Needle felting also needs various techniques to achieve more realistic detail. However, for classes, we will help you to make it faster, it will take just 4 hours (Brooch/ Magnet size). You will have a professional teacher who has a certificate from KPCA (Korea pet craft association/ www.kpetcraft.org /)

What materials do we use?🧤

For needle felting, We use these supplies -

🐑  Wool roving

🧵  Felting needles

🧽  Sponge pad

We use many different types of wool and felting needles in our needle felting. The wool that we use the most is Merino wool. This is primarily because we have tried other wool and always returned to Merino wool. It felts very softly so that you can have a very soft finish when we are finished. Roving is wool that has been washed and run through a carding machine. When carded, the wool fiber is all going in the same direction. Carding is like combing in that it is taking the fiber that is in small locks and combing it all smoothly together.  The carded wool comes out in a long “roving” of wool that is easy to spin into yarn. As mentioned previously, We use superfine wool roving from sheep to make realistic looks and give our creations a soft finish.
