- All needles
have 3 barbs around the tip of the needle, they are packed in a re-useable
storage case. Needles are 3" in length and fit all felting handles
including Clover brand. Our felting needles have been made with a little
extra flexibility to reduce needle breakage when using, however when
rooting dolls hair warm the head and keep it warm.
- 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.
