FAQs
Needle felting is a dry felting technique that uses barbed needles to tangle and compress wool fibres into firm shapes. By repeatedly stabbing the wool with a felting needle, the fibres interlock, allowing for precise sculpting of 3D figures, animals, or decorative pieces. It’s a versatile craft requiring minimal tools, making it ideal for beginners and experienced crafters alike.
