NEW TO NEEDLE FELTING

I've never heard of it!. Whats it like?

I've heard people talke about it and saw it on TV but have never tried it. I love needlework. MIght have to give it a try.

NEEDLE FELTING INVOLVES TAKING WOOL FIBERS AND THESE FELTING NEEDLES WHICH HAVE TINY LITTLE BARBS ON THEM. YOU THEN JUST SIT AND POKE THE WOOL WITH THE NEEDLES AND THE BARBS CAUSE THE FIBERS IN THE WOOL TO INTER-TWINE WITH EACH OTHER. THE MORE YOU POKE WITH THE NEEDLE THE TIGHTER THE FIBERS BECOME TOGETHER.

YOU CAN ACTUALLY SCULPTED THE WOOL BY JUST POKING THE WOOL.....MIND YOU IT TAKES ALOT OF POKING.

BUT I HAVE ONLY BEEN DOING IT ABOUT THREE WEEKS AND I LOVE IT. I AM SELF TAUGHT. NEVER USED A KIT BUT SOME PEOPLE WILL START OUT BY USING ONE. I LIKE TO FLY BY THE SEAT OF MY PANTS, I GUESS.

SOMETIMES I JUST START POKING A SMALL CHUNK OF WOOL AND THEN IT JUST STARTS TAKING SHAPE. KIND OF LOOKING AT CLOUDS IN THE SKY AND SEEING SHAPES IN THEM. AND OTHER TIMES I HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT I WANT TO MAKE.

I WOULD SUGGEST GIVING IT A TRY......YOU NEVER KNOW YOU JUST MIGHT BECOME A TRUE NEEDLE FELTER TOO!!!

THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS TOO BY THE WAY....NICE TO KNOW THAT PEOPLE REALLY DO READ THESE THINGS.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!

IT DOESN'T TAKE ALOT OF SUPPLIES
