FELTING:
Introduction
Tools for Needle-felting & Fiber Starter Set
The 6- and 9-barb felting needles (The assortment has two
6 standards, and one each of the three kinds of 9) are made from triangular
36 gauge wire. The 6's and the 9-fines are 3½ inches long, the
other two 9's are three inches long.
The star point needles (3 inches long, 36 gauge) have
4 sides, and the extra side makes them especially good for fast, fine
felting.
The twisted needles have a turn in the shaft swirls the
fiber around to felt it quickly and strongly. Also leave smaller holes.
The Clover refills are 38 gauge (finer). Any of the needles except the
twisted one can go in any of the holders, as long as they are all the
same length. The the 6- and 9- barb ones do go past the guard on the Clover
holder.
The Work Pad is a block of foam, the Mats are brush-like.
