Each set includes 2 ea
40 T, 36 T & 38 Star
Yellow – 40T
(triangle
blade) for general felting.
If I had to pick
just one needle use, this would be it – it
It pierces into your project easily and
seems to grab the perfect amount of fiber
with each jab. It gives me fine
control when sculpting the wool. This is a
fine gauge needle and is very sharp and
breaks easily. Please be careful!
Red
– 38 Star
for finish and
surface felting.
This has a star shaped
blade rather than the typical triangle
shaped blade. There are more barbs and
the barbs start closer to the tip than the
other needles. This makes it perfect
for surface details like eyes and for
finishing the piece and taming down the fuzzies.
Black
– 36T
for
deep, fast felting and attaching parts.
This
is a coarse needle – I don't have to worry
about it breaking so when I need to attach a
head to a body, this is the needle I reach
for.

Felting needles were designed to fit into a machine and not a human hand. They
are cold, hard steel with a little “L” shaped end that is brutally uncomfortable
to hold on to. There are many different gauges and blade configurations and it
is difficult to tell the difference at a glance.
