How to Needle Felting for beginners?

How to Needle Felting for beginners?

In this technique, special needles are used to make felt.

These needles have barbs (notches). As the "poking" motion (down and back with a prependicular motion to the base) the barbs intertwine the wool fibers with each other, until they become a compact and hard block - the felt piece.

The three most common needle sizes are 

1. Thick needle (Pink) - the first needle to be used - is used at the beginning to join the wool fibers more quickly (if the piece is small and the wool has already been well conditioned, the medium needle can be used, or if the piece is very small, the fine needle can be used).

2. Medium needle (Blue) - 2nd needle to be used - when the piece has a medium consistency - used during most of the work

3. Fine needle (Yellow)- 3rd needle to be used - when the garment is stiffer/compact - for finishing and details

How to start Felting with Needles?

Start the work with the thick needle (G).
(this will pick up a larger number of fibers)
As soon as you start to feel some resistance when poking, you should change to the medium needle (M).
(this is because if you insist on using the G needle, it will break)
Most of the work is done with the (M) needle.
(at least the wool assembly/base)
Again the same situation, as soon as you start to feel some resistance when piecing, you should switch to the finer needle (F).
The detail work and finishing is all done with the (F) needle.

Note:
The needle should always be handled perpendicular to the workpiece being pricked. Force exerted at an angle can bend or break the needle.

Caution:
Needles are extremely sharp tools and their pricks are very painful. They should not be handled by children without adult supervision.
As for adults, they should be felt away from the TV (the #1 cause of finger pricks) and always on top of a sponge or pad.

FAQs

Needle felting is a relatively new technique for creating felt by using special felting needles. It can be used to shape any type of natural fiber, including dog and cat fur. It is a type of technique that can be done by hand or with the help of machines. Needle felting is a relatively easy process and is currently in vogue.

Needle felting is an art technique that involves turning wool or other fibers with the help of special needles into felt. It is a very versatile technique that allows artists to create a variety of textures and shapes. The advantage of needle felting is that it can be done anywhere, without requiring special conditions or much experience.

This is considered the Dry Felt technique. The fibers are interlaced and compacted with one or several special needles. It is an easy and practical technique. With it you can make:

1) Inicia-se o trabalho com a agulha grossa (G). (esta vai apanhar um maior número de fibras) 2) Assim que sentirmos alguma resistência ao picar, deve-se mudar para a agulha média (M). (se insistirmos em utilizar a agulha (G), vai partir) 3) A maior parte do trabalho é realizado com a agulha (M). (pelo menos a montagem/base da lã) 4) Novamente, quando sentirmos resistência ao picar, deve-se mudar para a agulha mais fina (F). 5) O trabalho de detalhe e finalização é sempre realizado com a agulha fina (F).

Magic wool is a special kind of wool that is used for felting and handicrafts.

Magic wool can be purchased in stores specializing in handmade felting or online. Magic wool has some unique characteristics that make it ideal for these activities. For example, it is made from natural fibers and is extremely soft. In addition, magic wool has a surface that is perfect for Needle Felting, a technique used to create 2D and 3D felting.

There is no set price for Magic Wool, because this product can vary according to the quality and characteristics of the product. The price can also vary if purchased individually or together with other products.

Magic Wool is a safe and effective product for human use. It is made from natural wool and meets Oeko-Tex®-Standard 100. Magic Wool should be stored inside its original packaging and in a cool, dry environment to prevent deterioration of the wool.
