- Felting needles are barbed needles and measured in gauges (g) the
larger the gauge number the thinner the needle and the smaller the barbs.
- The barbs on the triangular needle are randomly spaced over the lower
shaft of the needle, the more barbs and the thicker the needle, the more
wool the needle pulls in when stabbing with it.
- For use when needle
felting, buy from a trusted seller, fully refundable if returned. A
mindful and relaxing craft.

*Care needs to be taken when using these needles as they are
sharp, children under 16 should be supervised when using them. Felting
needles are brittle, and are therefore easily broken. To reduce breakages,
use the needle in a straight in, straight out motion. The needle is best
not bent, wiggled or put under a lot of pressure. As a general rule if the
needle will not enter a surface with ease do not force it.
- Packed in ONE protective reusable tube, the needles can be used with wooden handles or clover brand felting tools and pens
