needlefeltingI fancy trying this, can anyone point me in a good direction for some instructions and equipment?Is it quite easy? I'm making little fulled bowls and I want to try needlefelting over them. |

its very easy as long as you remember not to stab yourself. Crafty Notions do the needles http://www.craftynotions.com/npk.htm and also do very nice 'ethical' merino, you can also get needles from Wingham Wool works |

I bought a nice wooden handled needle holder so I can use 5 needles at a time. It really speeds things up. Mind you, I loathe needle felting at the best of times - my next door neighbour's using all my needle felting stuff right now. |

The repetitive stabbing stuff and he fact that I can wet felt somehting much quicker I guess. I don't know really - I love the dolls and stuff that people do and I used to sell neelde felted flower brooches but it would drive me mental
