Tiger tail is a beading wire, stiff, with a steel braided core. The more flexible sort could be used for felted beads, the stiffer ones I'd advise against.

Can you use the balls for a pin cushion?

[@rainbowmagpie]

Thank you, really enjoyed this... do you think it would work if you added Angelina into your sausage?

[@gilliangladrag]

Yes you can but weirdly you don’t really notice it when you chop the beads up 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just made a bunch of these and was wondering if spraying them with starch will make them better for a necklace

[@YahuahLives]

Enjoyed your video. Can felted balls be attached to garments through the wet felting process? Thanks!

[@gilliangladrag]

Hi Mary no you'd need to sew them on. Thanks x

i've learn, almost 20 years ago, to create multi-layer balls to cut in the midle, but it takes a lot os time for the wool layers to felt properly. is there any faster way of doing it?

[@gilliangladrag]

Not really - it's a case of rolling rolling rolling and lots of hot water. You can try putting them in the washing machine too - but you need to re roll them afterwards as they will be mis-shapen x
