My New Felting Needles Kit
Plus a few other needle felting supplies.
I recently got a small felting needles kit and a few other items to add to my growing supplies collection. I did not need these items, but I hope it will be useful as I continue learning the craft.
In case it's helpful, below are the topics covered in this post:
Felting Needles Kit
I have yet to break a needle, but I heard breakage happens regularly. I got a small felting needles kit that included more needles than I need plus some other useful supplies.
2 Cleaning Cloths Finger and Thumb Gloves Case of Positioning Pins Tubes of Various Sized Needles 1-Needle Holder 3-Needle Holder 8-Needle Holder
The package contents included:
1 clear storage case
2 cleaning cloths
2 finger gloves*
3 wooden needle holders (1-needle holder, 3-needles holder, and 8-needles holder)
20 positioning pins
30 thick needles (36 gauge)
30 middle needles (38 gauge)
42 thin needles (40 gauge)
Finger Glove with Gap at Tip Thumb Glove
*The fore finger glove was a tight squeeze for my chubby finger. Fortunately, the thumb glove fit well.
The fore finger glove was sewn in a way that the skinny size does not fit my finger properly. Hopefully this was just a fluke for me and not all buyers of this kit. The thumb glove fit well.
I recently used the 3-needles holder for a needle felted lady bug I completed recently. Using the multiple-needles holder made shaping the body quicker than using the single-needle holder. It seems to be best used for shaping larger chunks of wool like the ladybug's body.
Carded Wool
Ebony Black Wool Batt Cloud Gray Wool Batt Back of Tag Text Description
The larger needle felting kit I first used last month came with many wool colors excluding black and white. I got two batts of carded wool: Ebony Black and Cloud Gray.
I mistakenly selected the Cloud Gray carded wool. I meant to get Snow or Milk colored wool but did not pay attention while making my selection. The Cloud Gray will still be useful for the craft.
Embroidery Hoop
I got a six-inch embroidery hoop for a flat felted craft. Since I have the supplies, I might as well give flat felting a try one day. I do not yet know if the hoop is necessary for flat felting, but I figured it would not hurt to use it.
