I feel that Needle Felting needs a little explanation -- simply put, it is felting without water. Instead, you use special, barbed felting needles (the same used in industry today) to push the top layer of wool into deeper layers. The unique property of wool fiber that allows it to "stick" to itself causes the wool to felt, without the need for water. This activity is suited for adults and older children ages 10 and up (with strict adult guidance and supervision due to the use of very sharp, long needles). It's fun, easy...and addictive! (See Free Project sheet below.)
With these Felter's Fleece Variety packs, you can explore the wonder of working with your hands to create magic with wool. Each package gives you 3 oz. of soft, beautiful wool fleece in four colors, a packet of nubs and pencil roving for decorating your projects, and complete instructions. This is enough to do several projects and all you need is the fleece, soap and water! Other uses of the wool are needle felting, creating figures and dolls, or designing wool pictures. I have done felting with my students for years and they LOVE it! Choose from three colorways. Retail price is $19.95. Our price is $16.95!

Colonial Felting Needles
Package of three long-barbed felting needles
These high quality, 36 gauge, 3" long felting needles are not like ordinary sewing needles, instead they have no eye, but have a right-angle curve at the top and triangular shape at the pointed tip. They are strong, extremely sharp and have barbs on each of the triangular sides. These barbs catch the fibers of wool as you poke straight down into it, pushing the top layer into the deeper layers, eventually felting the wool without the need for water. They are excellent for embellishing sewing and craft projects, creating accessories, home décor items, rooting doll hair and other soft sculpture projects. Imported from Portugal.
Caution: Needles are extremely sharp and must be kept away from children and pets!

Blue Grip Felting Needles
Package of two needles
If you're serious about needle felting, then you'll love these needles!
Get a grip! They've designed a cushion top for the Colonial Blue Point Needle for maximum comfort, control and fast felting action. Each high quality, 36-gauge needle has a triangular point with 50% more barbs for faster felting. The ease in which this needle fits your hand when felting is remarkable! It has a lower center of gravity for better precision and is noticeably stronger. Definitely worth the slightly higher price tag, in my opinion. YOU WILL LOVE THESE NEEDLES! The handy storage case contains two felting needles. Imported from Portugal.
Caution: Needles are extremely sharp and must be kept away from children and pets!

Did you know...
Most bargain-priced felting needles sold to crafters are low quality discards and irregulars from the felting industry? Maybe the shaft isn't straight or the barbs are not up to the uniform standards required of industrial felting machines, in any case, some weakness has been detected requiring the manufacturer to set them aside as unusable.
Our felting needles are very high quality, extra strong and made especially for hand felting. We think you'll notice a difference!

Wool Roving
100% Merino Wool Roving in 21 beautiful colors
Wool roving is a fiber artist’s “chocolate!” This long-stapled, rope of 100% pure, luscious, soft merino wool roving is what makes traditional wet and dry needle felting such a sensory, pleasurable craft! The colors in our collection are yummy and the uses are many: such as for doll hair, color blending and adding highlights to wet or dry felted creations, embellishing handmade fiber art, creating “Magic Wool” pictures, spinning custom yarns, and for use as an embellishment in weaving or sewing. Click picture at left to see our collection of colors, pricing and to order.
Did you know that blended fibers felt faster? With these two hand carding tools you can custom blend your own colors. This is especially helpful when you don’t have the correct secondary color in your stash, but you do have the primary colors needed to create it! (Remember grade school art class? You know, yellow + blue make green.) They are very easy to use, just place a small amount of each fiber color on the bristles of the bottom tool and then rub the bristles of both tools across each other in opposite directions. You can blend different colors or types of fiber together, refresh leftover or used wool for felting or turn yarn into feltable fiber for beautiful results. Directions are included.

Needle Felting Foam Pad
2” thick firm pad
All needle felting is done on top of dense foam to protect your work surface and prevent needle breakage. This is a very high-quality foam pad that will last through dozens and dozens of needle felting projects. (It’s difficult to predict the life of your needle felting foam. I’ve heard of artists so obsessed with needle felting that they have worn out their foam pads, but that has never happened to me yet and I LOVE to needle felt. I guess it depends on how much you punch! Even so, I predict that this pad will last you a very long time.) NOTE: Picture shows a white pad, currently the foam pads in stock are green.

Felting Needle Assortment Set
This set contains four different needles of various gauges and shapes to use at different stages of the needle felting process and especially helpful when sculpting 3-D projects. The all-purpose 36 gauge triangle needle is for fast coarse felting best used at the beginning stage. The 38 gauge triangle point is for medium coarse felting, such as attaching one item to another. The 40 gauge triangle needle is for extra fine detail felting and smoothing the surface. The 38 gauge star point needle is excellent for felting large areas. We are certain you will find many constructive uses for this handy needle assortment.
This is a great multi-needle tool to have when children are around (or if you’re one that occasionally gives yourself a punch) because it has a built in safety cover that can be locked when not in use. When unlocked, the safety cover easily moves up and down with spring-like action to allow the needles to remain covered throughout the entire punching process. This feature protects your needles from breakage! This tool has been especially designed for use with the Clover Brush Felting Mat so the when the needles are punched their entire length, they won’t hit the bottom of the mat or you can use it with your own foam pad. If you’re a beginner or just want added protection for your fingers, this is a great, easy-to-use tool. Full instructions are included.

Pen Style Felting Tool
Comes with three felting needles
Clever! Due to the ergonomic design, this tool feels like you’re holding a writing pen. The natural grip means less fatigue. This tool is excellent for small or delicate felting projects using 1, 2 or 3 needles. The needles are so easy to replace, just twist the body of the pen to expose the chamber and drop the needles into the grooves. You can customize the needle length to either long or short according to your project. It comes with a protective cap and an attachment for use with Clover Felting Appliqué Molds (which we currently do not sell).

Needle Felting Claw and Mat Cleaner (Clover brand)
This 3-in-1 assisting tool serves a variety of uses:
• Holds small motifs in the desired position while felting. Needles can be punched through the flexible wires to save your fingers from injury.
• Acts as a mini fiber comb to blend wool roving together for creating custom colors.
• Cleans out fibers to the roots of your Clover Brush Felting Mat. Although it’s not designed for this purpose, it does a pretty good job cleaning wool fibers from a felting foam pad, as well.

Brush Style Felting Mat (Clover brand)
Measures 5½” x 3½” x 1½”
Can’t afford a felting machine? This brush-like mat works in a similar manner. I love it and use mine all the time for small tasks or whenever I don’t want my project to become felted to my foam mat (don’t you just hate that?). The firm bristles enable smooth punching with very little resistance and allows the fibers to mesh well with the base fabric. It is especially useful when needle felting on clothing or other textiles. Although this mat was designed specifically for use with the Clover Multi-Needle Felting Tool and the Pen Style Felting Tool, it can be used with any brand of felting needle or tool by taking extra care not to punch so deeply that your needles touch the hard plastic base and break. It comes with complete illustrated instructions.
Imagine hiking along a wooded trail and spotting this vine & mushroom-covered fairy house hidden among the wildflowers at the base of a tree. You can create this two-story fairy hideaway easily, without sewing or the soapy mess usually associated with traditional wet felting. This is an easy needle felting project, even for a beginner!
Skill level: Suitable for all levels, Beginner to Advanced.The finished Flower Hill Hideaway is recommended for ages 4 and older.
Pattern available!

Perfect for your needle felted creations, these realistic brown eye buttons are easily attached by first creating an indentation in the wool, sewing (or gluing) in place, then needle felting a narrow eyelid around each button for a final touch. Another method of attachment is to secure a wire on the shank, coating the wire with glue and inserting the wire into the eye socket indentation. (SAFETY NOTE: If creating a child’s toy, it is suggested to sew in place securely, making certain to dig deeply into the wool foundation. Also, the addition of glue behind the button is recommended for added strength and security. Check toy often, as buttons can be a choking hazard.) Each package contains two buttons. Made in Germany.

Bulky Felting Yarn/Pencil Roving Assortment
100% wool, over 80 feet in total length
A Silver Penny exclusive!
This is the most ingenious product because it has multiple uses for felting. This 100% wool bulky yarn is very loosely spun and, used directly from the package, is wonderful for needle or wet felting. But untwist it slightly and it becomes pencil roving. Twist just a little tighter and the yarn becomes thinner for more precise placement and crisp lines. The uses of this product are varied – it is perfect for clothing embellishment, creating wool pictures, fashioning or outlining a needle felted motif, making felted jewelry, enhancing 3-D needle felted sculptures or use when only a small amount of color is needed. This assortment package contains a total of more than 27 yards of nine beautiful, vibrant colors (approximately 3 yards of each): Black, White, Orange Poppy, Tundra Green, Bermuda Blue, Red Rose, Garnet, Peacock and Violet.

Premium Wool Batting
Cleaned and carded natural, undyed wool is perfect for felting. Because of its more economical cost, use it as a base to your sculptures or felted figures, then cover only the outer layer with the more expensive roving. It felts easily and actually softens your hands as you work with it! I love it and find it a pleasure to use.

Wool Roving: The Earth Collection
Although this item is called The Earth Collection, we also recommend it as hair for dolls. This 100% wool roving is excellent for small dolls or baby dolls when you want a truly natural look. The fibers are much finer than yarn, which makes the hair look “real.” It can be attached to your doll’s head in several ways: Sew down the center to create a part, then glue or sew onto the head; or needle felt it directly into your cloth doll’s head. It can be easily styled into braids or pigtails. (This is the type of hair we use on our tiny Flower Fairy dolls.) This collection of earthtones includes eight colors: Nutmeg, Mahogany, Black, Smoke, Toffee, Chocolate, Pumpkin and Camel. You will receive a 12” length of each color, for a total weight of 55 grams.
