What is Needle Felting?
If we just refer to what needle felting is, it is the process of transforming wool into 3D objects with the help of a barbed needle. You are actually bringing the fibres of wool together with the help of a barbed needle and giving it the desired shape. You will be surprised to see how it creates a solid fabric. In this process you are using the same technique as hot water but with a pointed needle. So, it gets interesting how a similar technique but in a different form is helping you with your craft. Also, you’ll be happy to create something of your own.

So, what are the supplies that you need to start with the activity, or we may call it a craft activity? Whatever you like to name it, will be fun and the supplies you need are as follows:
Wool – This is a special kind of wool called roving that we use in the needle felting and it is torn from a larger piece to have enough to create new things. The quantity has to be enough to create something you have planned for.

Felting Needle – The needle that you use for the tapestry isn’t the needle that you use here in felting the wool. It has to be sharper with barbed blades so that it can agitate the wool fibres. Your goal is to agitate the fiber and harden it; hence you cannot go without a sharp felting needle.

Felting Surface - You'll require a felting surface to try not to jab your fingers, legs, or other body parts. Wipes and cushions function admirably for needle felting. Simply ensure your surface is a few inches thick, similar to a block of foam.
