Needle felting is the art of sculpting with wool. Using a sharp barbed felting needle, you stab the wool over and over to connect the wool fibers together. The more you stab, the firmer the wool becomes, and eventually you’ll create a cute firmly sculpted creation. Let's turn sheep fluff into cool stuff.

Thank you so much . I love the way explain things to us . Much appreciated.
Thank you for watching. I'm so happy it helped.
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?
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.
I love the painting! I love it!!! Remember, you’re doing a teaching tutorial. You haven’t worked on it, nearly, as long as the video. The colors are perfect. And this is one of my favorite flowers. Great tutorial!
Thank you. :-)
As an (already addicted) beginner, I've watched a number of videos . Yours is by far the most informative. I'm on Vancouver Island, so this is the closest I'm going to get to your workshops unfortunately. However, after watching this, I feel a lot more confident. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it & it gave you confidence. Email me if you have any questions as I love to chat all things wool. Happy felting!
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. :-)
Thank you . I really enjoy your videos. You’re a wonderful, informative instructor..
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words.
How should I store my wool roving. I have a lot of colors
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.
But you are really boring...😢
I'm sorry you feel this way. I hope you can find needle felting videos you do enjoy. Take care.
Great instruction, thank you!
Thank you for watching and for the very nice compliment.
Great tutorial, I'm glad I found you. I've never done needle felting but you have inspired me to have a go. I think the flower is an Echinacea. Best wishes from Australia.
Thank you, I'm glad you found me too. Yes, it is an Echinacea flower. :-)
It's amazing I'm excited to try it But Im from Egypt and inquired if i can find this needle here!
Thank you. I live in North America so don't know what the shipping is like for items going into Egypt. I know England and Scotland have companies that sell needle felting supplies. Hopefully you could purchase and have items shipped from one of those countries. Maybe other people watching this video could help by replying to this comment.
@@WoollyDoodles may be, I don't know So I will search for it again or may ship it from Europe Thanks for your suggestion 🥰 Nice to meet you
Beautiful. I learnt such a lot!
Thank you. I'm glad it helped.
Your dedication to your craft is evident in every video
Thank you. 🙂
I love that dragon. Did u make it??
Thank you. Yes I did. I felted along with paid video lessons through Sarafina Fiber Art.
Beautiful thank you .very good video.
Thank you for watching and for the nice compliment.
I love your videos- you are a very good teacher! I know you were not finished but how do decrease the appearance of the holes?
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.
Thank you!
WOWZERS!! Absolutely gorgeous pieces - thank you so much for this video! xxx
Thank you for the lovely comment.
This is very useful, thanks. I will be looking out for more. Want to move onto the background!
I'm glad it helped you. I'll have more time to record and edit videos in 2024 and will make sure to record one on backgrounds. Happy felting!
Great video ! I can't wait to try this. Can this be done on a felted bag, hat or slippers?
Yes you can, as long as what you're needle felting on to is made with wool or material blended with wool. Happy felting!
Yes you can!
That is a beautiful flower ❤
Thank 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. 😍
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!
This was very helpful thank you.
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful for you.
Could I do this for my broadcloth overcoat do you think?
As long as it's made with wool, why not try it! It's no different then needle felting onto a thicker felt sheet. Make sure to send me a photo if you do.
Thank you Cathy! This is exactly what I need to create paintings of a Pgymy Nuthatch plus a Morning Glory.
Perfect! I'm so glad it helped!! :-)
Hi ma'am what kind of felt sheet did you use? In my area they have 2 kinds of felt sheet the hard felt sheet and the soft felt sheet, what felt sheet did i use? Thanks 🤗
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.
they all came out beautiful. thanks for sharing.🍅
You're welcome. HD quality should load up soon. 🙂
Thankyou, do you always use felt for the backing of your picture?
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.
Your such a good teacher. Your voice is so easy to listen to.
Awwww, thank you!
I'm getting so much new and good tips from you! I'm glad I found your channel.
Thank you. More videos to come. :-D
What size needle do you use pls x
Thank you for reaching out. I use a variety of needles when needle felting, including multi-needle tools. The single needle I use most is the 38-gauge Star. I also use 36-gauge Triangle & 38-gauge Spiral. In my Clover multi-needle tools, they are 40-gauge Triangle.
So glad I found your tutorial. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so happy you found me!
When you say wool batting is that the same as carding with a drum carder
Wool batting has criss-crossed fibers, and yes, what you make on the drum carder is a batt.
Shut up
Thanks for the informative tutorial ! I just discovered this art form
Great to hear! Thank you for letting me know.
Thanks for the great video. In a class I took, the teacher cut sections of plastic coffee stir sticks and put two needles through them. That way you stab twice as fast. It worked really well.
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Cathy, I just got back from a vacation in the Isle of Man, where I took part in a felting workshop. I'm excited about learning as much as I can about this amazing craft, and your video answered some of the questions I had. Thanks so much, I'll definitely keep watching your videos
Glad I could help. I love needle felting and there are always so many questions. I never stop learning.
I am so glad I have found you! Your work is beautiful and your teaching method is perfect! xx
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video! I'm super excited to get started!
You're welcome. Let me know if you have any questions. :-)
Only 7 likes.. 😯 I love this video, going to make one for my mom. 😃
Thank you! I agree. I love needle felting the pansies. Not sure why it hasn't been popular.
I love this video. Hoping you are going to make more. 😀
Thank you! I have plans to make more over the summer. :-D
Loved this thank you
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you ,wonderful video. Your work is beautiful.
Thank you. :-)
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.
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.
Wow your work is amazing! 😄
Thank you. :-)
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
