Colour Lists for Needle Felting Projects - Colour Selection Help

The question we are asked the most is what colours to pick. Colour selection is very personal.

This page will give you some ideas.

I find that taking screenshots of the colours and creating collage useful when deciding the shades to use ( adobe express of google have free ones, or any of the free collage apps).  

 

We also have some ready wool sets designed for you, these are approximately 50 g in total of wool only, no tools, pictures or instructions will be included. These are meant to give you a set of colours for the finishing layer. You create a base shape from the core wool of your choice and then use these wool sets to colour it in.

Ready made sets can be found here or just take and inspiration for your own selection.
