    MY RECOMMENDED WOOL AND EQUIPMENT FROM AMAZON UK:
    **WOOL**
    Core Wool:
    Jacob Carded Wool Batts - Core Wool (200 grams - Large), White: amzn.to/3nQK4RT
    Sadly the wool I bought from amazon is unavailable at the moment however there are similar packs such as this pack of 50 colours: amzn.to/3iS4oDz
    In case it comes back the wool I featured in this video is this one:
    Soledi Felting Wool Pack Merino Roving wool 45 colors: amzn.to/3SfIjLP
    If you prefer to buy individual colours I recommend the following:
    Heidifeathers Merino Roving Wool / Tops 25 grams: amzn.to/3xMq4o4
    Heidifeathers Merino Roving/Tops Wool 100 grams: amzn.to/3ykminh
    *** NEEDLES***:
    42 Gauge Triangular Needle (pack 5) (Heidifeathers via Amazon): amzn.to/3Byh75n
    40 Gauge Triangular Needle (pack 5) (Heidifeathers via Amazon): amzn.to/3bmO3mp
    ***Felting Mat***:
    Woolbuddy Needle Felting Pad/Mat Large (I recommend the white one but it is more expensive): amzn.to/3Oo7ASa
    **Tools**
    Clover Pen Style Needle Felting Tool - Multi needle holder (3): amzn.to/3FyMgpF
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    WOOL AND EQUIPMENT FROM AMAZON US:
    **WOOL**
    This pack doesn’t look exactly the same make as the one I bought but looks very similar in that you get 3grams of each color, except you get 100 colors:
    Habbi 100 Colors Needle Felting Wool: amzn.to/3SlnheX
    Carded Core Wool (Woolbuddy) 15.7oz (445 grams): amzn.to/3rFn8au
    If you’d prefer to buy individual colours:
    Heidifeathers Bright White Merino Roving Wool / Tops 25 grams: amzn.to/3Em9X5D
    ***FELTING MATS***:
    Woolbuddy Needle Felting Pad/Mat Large (the size I use): amzn.to/3OlbfQI
    Woolbuddy Needle Felting Pad/Mat Regular in White: amzn.to/3zkEaOx

    My daughter who is nine and I found this video by accident. She never laughed so much watching a crafting video as she did with this one. She said its like a craft for serial killers. Epic video, strange craft, but a craft that has two new enthusiasts. Neither of us are serial killers I might add.

    I remember felting as a teenager at school and I ended up with a chameleon that looked like it had been killed on the road (my family lovingly baptized it Roadkill). I had no idea about these common beginner mistakes I had made while felting. I wish my teacher had noticed and guided me more in the process. At least now I know what my mistakes were and I can try felting again!

    • @juliesfeltedfriends
      @juliesfeltedfriends  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Oh dear! Poor Roadkill 😊 I hope you do try felting again, it can take a while to get the hang of how firm you need to roll it and how long you need to stab for 😊 glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching

    I have just found you! I honestly feel that a link to your tutorials should be given with every beginners kit, every set of needles, and every ounce of wool purchased. I started needle felting eight months ago and you have taught me more in this eight minutes than I have learned in the whole eight months. Thank you so much Julie. I have decided that I am going to watch one video of yours each day and I am going to pass on the link to your tutorials to every beginner I come across. Needless to say, you have a new subscriber! Thank you so much. ❤

      🤣 yes he's certainly a character, he can be a bit grumpy sometimes though, but on the plus side at least he doesn't cost much in pet food 😉 he also features in a couple of my recent videos 😊 glad you thought he was funny 😁 thanks for watching 🦉🦉🦉

    I made my first needle felted project at a workshop at a craft fair last week. I really enjoyed it so I bought a kit but when I sat down to make my little Robin I was really struggling to make the shape. This led my to TH-cam and this brilliant set of beginner videos which I’ve been binge watching and will probably watch several more time. Thanks to you my little Robin may actually be completed and not consigned to the back of a cupboard 🥰

    Thank you so much for including the timings, I spent the best part of 5 hours stabbing a little bunny and thought I must be doing something wrong!😒 Now I know you just have to keep going until you feel happy with it. x

    • @juliesfeltedfriends
      @juliesfeltedfriends  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Thank you for this, glad you found the timings helpful, but please bear in mind it is difficult to give a definitive length of time you should stab for as it does vary depending on lots of things 😊 hopefully the real time footage in the top right corner helps to see the speed I actually stab at and how felted the item becomes. Rolling the wool very tightly before you begin will also help reduce how long you need to stab for, happy felting 🙂

    Thank you! I saw a whole bunch of yt shorts and tiktoks on needle felting and it seemed really relaxing especially with the sound of it (which I wrongly believed to be the sound of needle felting wool into a pre created foam shape). So the moment I saw a needle felting kit I spared no time to grab it. After watching this video I’m excited to jump straight back into working on it and i might even try making my own one day!

    I wasn't planning to start drawing out stuff, but it helped so much! My second ever project is a little hamster I'm starting. Drawing it was brilliant, it raised so many questions - how big should it be? How big is the head versus the body? How wide should it be? Where are his cheeks the widest? Is he sitting or standing? How far apart do the eyes go? How far out does his nose stretch? What part of his body does the nose align with?
    It took me a little planning and drawing but I have a very good sketch now of a hampster and I'm certain my project will look much much better for the effort. Very valuable time spent.

    • @juliesfeltedfriends
      @juliesfeltedfriends  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh gosh, I'm sorry to hear that, yes sometimes the instructions can be really poor! I find the pox marks or holes in the wool from the needle can go less visible if you rub the wool slightly, but it may also be the size of needle or type of wool you're using. You might find my video on getting a smoother finish helpful here: th-cam.com/video/NEjy4q1QwoM/w-d-xo.html hope this helps, thanks for watching.

    Bought a DIY kit and finished the project. The instruction was very clear so I didn’t have much trouble. Except the project took me 6 hrs to finish. The size of your owl in the video, and broke 2 needles 😅 I’m getting so old my minutes passes in hours.

    • @juliesfeltedfriends
      @juliesfeltedfriends  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Glad you managed the kit ok and finished it 😊 that's brilliant! Needle felting can take a while, if the kit has a lot of detail it will take longer I'm afraid. To try to reduce the chance of breaking your needles try to remove your needle in the same direction you went into the wool 😊 also you shouldn't have to stab with much force, hope this helps.

    Ordered a cat felting kit from China (not a wise idea, but I have never needle felted before). Decided today was the day I would try. My booklet came with a code to scan and the video started. No intro to what was in the kit or how to use it, she just started poking away. At the end, I said "What did I just watch?" Then your video came up and I watched it too. My poor cat would've looked like your owl if I had gone by my booklet, so thank you for explaining this for me.

    • @juliesfeltedfriends
      @juliesfeltedfriends  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Try not to worry about going wrong too much, it's a very forgiving craft. Say your making the body of the item in the kit, my advice would be to not to use all the wool that the kit gives you to make the body as you might need to add a bit more to correct the shaping. You might also find this video on correcting mistakes in needle felting helpful: th-cam.com/video/8l9GduqwWzg/w-d-xo.html
      It shows that you can remove arms/legs/eyes and do them again but you can't take apart wool that has been felted very firmly, but you can add wool to it, but it's harder to take away, you'd have to cut it away with scissors 😊 thanks for the question and thanks for watching

    So what tips do you have for not injuring fingers

    • @juliesfeltedfriends
      @juliesfeltedfriends  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You could try using leather finger guards, you can buy them on Amazon, but other than that make sure your felting onto a mat, not holding the wool mid air and that you're not distracted, i.e. it's not something you can do while watching TV. If you're felting a very small piece of wool you can hold it with another felting needle. I'm working on a video at the moment that covers some of this. Hope these tips help, and helps you to not stab yourself, thanks for watching.

    • @juliesfeltedfriends
      @juliesfeltedfriends  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Aw thanks, this could be various things, try to pull the needle out in the same direction you go in, as they are very brittle and if you bend them even slightly they will break, or it could be that you're stabbing too hard, the needle doesn't have to go into the wool that far, only as far as the barbs. It also helps to work on a mat. Also cheap needles that aren't from a reputable supplier will break more easily, Heidifeathers are a good supplier of needles. Hope this helps 😊

      Hi there, do you mean that the polystyrene mat that you're working on broke? Unfortunately polystyrene doesn't last very long and will break up after a while. If you don't want to buy a needle felting mat you could use a sponge, but this will also break up eventually. Also I'm afraid it does take a lot of stabbing, if you've made sure you've followed all the tips in this video it should firm up eventually, I.e. you're using decent needles, carded wool, rolled it tightly etc. you could try watching my video on when to stop stabbing to give you an idea of how long you need to stab for: th-cam.com/video/oR-RlKflN4w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WSRtkAUstQqBsyXX.

      Thanks for this, to be honest styrofoam or polystyrene isn't something I've experimented with much. It's heard mixed results, have you used styrofoam? Does the wool stick ok? One of the reasons I've not used it yet is I'd feel restricted by the shape, I haven't found any styrofoam the shape of the owl for example, I guess I could carve the foam, but then in the time it would take me to carve it I could have needle felted some core wool into the shape.
