Felting Needles
These needles allow the felting process to take place without the need for soap and water. In recent years they have been used by hand feltmakers as an additional technique in felt making. All needles are manufactured to the Gauge standard as we list them not to any colour code or other type of description. This is the most accurate way to identify them. As an industrial product for use in machines that run at over 800 strokes per minute there are many options of type and usage in the commercial field, it is therefore, easy to get carried away with technicalities. We have selected a simple range for use by hand taking into account function and price.
They can be used singly or in groups in small hand felt making tools. In a group in a tool they can be used to place decorations precisely on pieces of pre-felt. The decoration is placed on the felt and stabbed into place with the barbed needles. It will stay in position when the normal wet finishing process is carried out.
Three dimensional work can also be carried out. In this case it is usual to work with a single needle to sculpt shapes.
All of the needles are manufactured for industrial use and are therefore, made to a high specification. We are able to offer them at good prices because we purchase in tens of thousands.
