    Using that piece of felt, is it one you get at craft stores like joanne's? I was trying to see and they are not wool. Where do you buy your pieces?

    • @WoollyDoodles
      @WoollyDoodles Před měsícem

      I always use 100% wool felt sheets. If you want to experiment and play, you can use the acrylic sheets like they sell at JoAnne's Fabrics or Michaels, they will work. I buy my 100% wool sheets from a supplier in Canada, Fibrecraft.ca, who does ship to the U.S. And note, they are NOT pre-felted wool but wool felt sheets 1.2mm.

    Hi 😊I have recently found your videos by browsing CZcams. I have been needle felting a while now, here in the UK and I have enjoyed your instruction very much Thankyou. Your instructions seem to be for very new beginners and I was wondering do you have plans for more advanced projects. I admire some of the creations in the background, especially the owl 🤗. Thank you again for taking time to teach us xx🌻💕

      Hello! Thank you for your kind words. So far the set of videos I have on my channel are intended for beginners. I have plans to start recording shorter videos with techniques so people can bring their projects to the next level. I'm researching some other ideas too. I do teach online workshops (on break for the summer) and will be adding some intermediate workshops as well. So lots to come. :-)

    How should I store my wool roving. I have a lot of colors

    • @WoollyDoodles
      @WoollyDoodles Před 3 měsíci

      Not an easy answer, but I'll do my best. I store my wool in plastic zip bags, BUT there are people who say it's bad to do this. The reason is wool contains a bit of moisture, so if sealed in a bag and then heated and cooled over and over, it will felt the wool. I store my wool in bags that are in open bins in a closet, away from heat and the sun, and I haven't had a felting problem. So my best recommendation is that if you store in plastic bags, to leave the bag unsealed. And make sure to keep the wool away from a heat source. I hope this helps.

    • @WoollyDoodles
      @WoollyDoodles Před 8 měsíci

      Thank you for watching and for the lovely compliment. I usually scratch the holes with my fingernail to hide them. But if you have larger holes, I would recommend using a finer gauge needle (40 triangle or 40 star) and checking to make sure the wool is connecting to your felt sheet and not loosely hanging on to it. Send me a direct message if you want to send me a photo and I can better help you.

    Hi I am so happy to see this video, I am just starting felting, I am not getting on very well with the animals. I was thinking landscapes or free felting, may be better for me. So this could not have come at a better time for me. This is my assignment for tomorrow. My biggest worry is which type and size needles to use, difficult for beginners. Hope this is the first of many. 😍

    • @WoollyDoodles
      @WoollyDoodles Před 11 měsíci

      I'm glad I could help. For animals, I recommend pencil sketching the ones you want to felt. It will help you get a great feel for what they look like. If you can sketch them in-person, even better. There will be more videos in the future!

    • @WoollyDoodles
      @WoollyDoodles Před rokem

      Hello - I use a 1.2mm thick 100% wool felt sheet. I'm not sure what you mean by hard & soft, but if I were to guess, you could be talking about a pre-felt sheet that is partially felted and a firmer felt sheet, similar to acrylic felt sheets. I don't use pre-felt for needle felting. It's too squishy for me. But it's great for a base when wet felting. I hope this helps.

      Hi Denise - Yes I do. I always use 100% wool felt sheets. I know other fiber artists use other materials as the backing for their felt paintings, but I find felt works the best for me. You can try the acrylic felt sheets, but I find they don't hold the felted wool as well as the wool sheets. I recommend experimenting to find what you like best. If you use a material other then wool, make sure to have a felt sheet behind the material if your wool doesn't stick into the material. Happy felting.

    Please, roving fibers are also crisscross. Top is where the fibers are all aligned the same way. As a spinner and needle fiber artist, it is really aggravating to hear and see people interchange the wrong words. Top is more difficult to felt, where roving is easier to felt.

    • @WoollyDoodles
      @WoollyDoodles Před 2 lety

      Sorry if I used the incorrect terms. Where I live, the Ashford Corriedale is called roving, not top. I've never heard it referred this way until now. I will take note and use the correct terminology in future videos. Thank you and take care.
