Felting Needles

Here are 6 styles of felting needles for your needle felting projects.

  • Use the 32 Gauge for needling coarse fiber such as Romney and for needling hair onto dolls.

  • Use the 36 Gauge for needling medium fiber such as Corriedale.

  • Use 38 Gauge for needling fine fibers such as Merino.

  • Use 40 Gauge for needling very fine fibers and for needling pre-felts.

  • Use the Fine Star for attaching fine fibers and for detail work.

The coarse needles are good for preliminary work, using them for deep penetration necessary to form the shape. The finer needles are better for detail work after the felt is already partially hardened by the coarser blades. You do not need to penetrate too deeply into the felt surface to add details. A finer gauge will leave less of a hole. 

Be sure to take a look at all the beautiful Corriedale Wool colors available under the Corriedale Wool Link.
