Colour Lists for Needle Felting Projects

One of the most common questions we receive is, "What colours should I pick?" 🎨 Colour selection is a very personal choice, but we're here to help!

This page offers some ideas to inspire your colour choices.

 

Tips for Colour Selection 🖌️

• Create a Colour Collage:
  • Taking screenshots of colours and creating a collage can be useful for deciding on shades.
  • You can use free tools like Adobe Express or Google Collage Apps, as well as other free collage apps.
• Ready Wool Sets:
  • We offer ready-made wool sets containing approximately 50g of wool.
  • These sets do not include tools, pictures, or instructions and are designed to provide a selection of colours for the finishing layer.
  • You can create a base shape using your choice of core wool, then use these wool sets to add colour.
