    You use the wool laundry balls instead of dryer sheets. Like dryer sheets, they speed up the drying time, reduce static, and help soften a bit. They are also far friendlier to the environment.

      I used to use dryer sheets but then switched to wool laundry balls and haven't gone back. I just love how my clothes feel with the wool balls. Also a little tip, you can put natural oils on the wool dryer balls and it will make your clothes smell soooo good.

    The needles do break after a while. They get stabbing fatigue I guess. Totally to be expected, don't worry. (Also, those thicc dense balls probably added to the strain.) Also, your creations are heckin' adorable! The catcus is just the spitting image of its big brother and the catstronaut is so sparkly!

      @zebraloverbridget Год назад +21

      They don't break after a while but they do become dull with proper use. Improperly stabbing the wool or hitting a wire armature is what causes breaks.
      They also don't seem to know of or have any different needle types or gauges at all. If they were to do some research they could make needle felting much faster and they wouldn't need to use the dryer balls at all.
      No shade to E & K though. Just stating the facts so they or anyone who sees this can learn.

    not sure if this was mentioned by someone else, but there are actually leather finger covers you can get to protect yourself from the needles!! I saw Rachel Maksy's needle felting video! While it may feel a bit more clumsy, it would help a lot from getting pricked too much.

    Fun fact: if you need really thin lines, you can unravel some yarn and use one of the threads from it to get a really consistent and thin line. I had to use this when making Calcifer (the fire from Howl’s Moving Castle), since his eyes didn’t look quite right without an outline.

    I loved these 😻
    If there's anything I'd suggest doing different in the future, it's considering the order of operations. For example, if you started with the opening of the felt catcus and then did the outer base layer of green, you could create a 3D effect to further sell the idea that the black is "inside" the catcus. And the same with the astronaut helmet. Of course, you could still add more wool to do the same thing, but you'd save yourselves time, effort and material that way.
    That said, if you improvise and don't have a clear idea of exactly what you want to make, it's not so easy to plan ahead, of course. 😋

  • @peachymanaangel
    @peachymanaangel Год назад +16

    Some felting tips, you can use upholstery foam as a core to start your felting. Also avoid cutting the wool, pulling it apart will give it a smoother finish. If it is not pulling move your hand further apart. Felting needles are brittle and snap, it happens when you adjust your angle in the felt. Lastly giving them a bath in hot soapy water and rub them (wet felting) will give them a smooth finish and fill in the holes from needles. Also you can needle felt fabric and yarn, and non wool fibers.

    I had never heard of wool laundry balls, and after reading what they do, I’m positive that a fresh clean towel tossed into the dryer with the rest of your laundry does a better job, and saves you more money.
    Towels have many purposes, and even woolen laundry balls have like two uses.

    Ha! Dryer balls are used in the place of dryer sheets (which typically have artificial chemicals and scents).

I also use natural phosphate free detergent with no crazy artificial scents. Better for us and our environment!

    What laundry balls (or tennis balls if you have ones that won't off-gas in the dryer) do is break up clumps of fabric that stuck together and don't dry in the middle. That's pretty much it. They're not anymore antistatic than a wool sock, and any chemicals they'd have on them would be used up after a few uses.

    There are also dryer balls made from rubber (silicone?)! They can be used more often than wollen ones, but won't pick up pet hairs as well. They are more hypoallergenic, since they can be washed better, but aren't as natural as wollen ones. Pros and cons! Which ever suits you better!
