Used for needle felting 3D and 2D, wet  felting, embellishments and other crafts. This wool is a lovely wool to work with. 

Carded Nz wool is great wool for needle felting. It comes as carded wool batting where fibres are already mixed, making it easier to felt. This wool has a short staple length making it a great, bulky carded wool well suited for 3D needle felting projects. Tip: 36 triangular and 38-star felting needles will work well with this wool in my opinion. 40 or 42 gauge can be used for finer detail but are not necessary.

IMPORTANT NOTEs: Although we take great care to make sure our photographs illustrate the colour of each wool shade, your screen/monitor settings may affect how it appears to you. 

*The wool is carefully washed before carding, however you may still find some grass bits that are perfectly normal for a natural product.

How to use the product.

Begin by roughly shaping wool as required. The more you compress your wool the less time it will take to needle felt. Place your wool onto the surface. Using the coarse needle, repeatedly insert it into the wool, shaping as you go. Keep peeling your work off the foam as you go so it doesn't get stuck. When it becomes difficult to insert the needle, swap for a finer one and continue until your work is a firm shape.
