If you teach needle felting, supply problems slow everything down.
You run out of brown.
Everyone needs the same grey.
You substitute a colour and the project shifts.
This pack exists to prevent that.
What You Get105 repeatable Carded New Zealand shades.
Choose:
- 20g per shade (2.1kg total)
- 100g per shade (10.5kg total)
If you teach regularly, the 100g option is the stable choice. It removes weekly stock anxiety.
Why Carded Works in ClassesCarded batts behave predictably.
They felt quickly.
They hold structure.
They tolerate beginner technique.
That matters in a room of mixed ability.
Fibre details:
- Staple length: 6.5–9.0cm
- 25–31 micron
- Suitable for needle and wet felting
This is not soft merino for surface blending. It is practical wool for building form.
Planning the MathsTypical usage per student:
- Small animal (8–10cm): 20–25g
- Medium project: 40–60g
- Flat piece: 15–30g
Example:
8 students × 25g = 200g per session
10 students × 30g = 300g per session
10.5kg covers roughly:
- 35–50 similar sessions
- Multiple term-length courses
- Repeat animal workshops without colour gaps
That reduces reordering and keeps your teaching flow steady.
20g vs 100g20g per shade
- Trial workshops
- Short courses
- Colour exploration
100g per shade
- Weekly classes
- Schools
- Repeat designs
- Kit production
If you know you will reuse foxes, dogs, hares, Highland cows — the 100g option makes sense.
Restocking and ConsistencyThese shades sit within our core Carded NZ range.
You can reorder individual colours.
Shades are repeatable.
Photos match real wool.
That consistency matters when students expect the same results term to term.

If you are running more than one class, this becomes a planning tool.
The usual workshop problem is not technique.
It is running out of the colour everyone needs.
A full working range removes that variable.
