    **FAQ**
    1. What is needle felting?
    Felting is one of the oldest fiber crafts, it is a process to create an object made with wool fibers. There are two types- one is dry (needle) felting and the other one is wet felting. This video shows the creations I made with dry felting, this process uses a special barbed needle to create friction between the fibers when you use the needle to poke them up and down. This allows the fibers to tangle together and creates a volume. There is no rule to needle felting, however safety is very important and always watch what you are doing.
    2. Which needle did you use?
    I used a size 38 star needle.

    Sure, that's totally up to you. I find needle felting soothing and fun, no trouble at all! I can create whatever I want with the needle, it's more flexible than knitting. It is labour-intense, but that's what makes it special from other fiber arts, and you'll feel a great sense of self-accomplishment when you finish a great piece of work!

    Avoid using your fingers to hold the felt down (cookie cutter too):
    ◉ I use a small spare needle to pin the felt to the foam, and thanks to
    the barbs the felt can be turned and manipulated easily... no fingers
    near the working needle.
    - - You'll likely be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to avoid
    the holding needle, even with the multiple needle tool.
    ◉ For cookie cutters, just use more spare needles and take advantage of
    the bent end to use as hold downs.
    ⊛ Flip and move your project around (often), saving the smallest working
    needle for the end & detail work
    (fine lines, mouths, trim, veins, etc)
    ⊛ Work shallow, when finishing, unless you really want to recess detail.
    Recessing an iris or mouth line can add surprising dimension.
