1. Try to down the felting needle to avoid diagonally.
2. When poking, pls avoid needle from side to side to change direction.
Because the needle will break under external force.
3. That the most detailed part of the needle fully insert wool is OK, but do not just
the surface which will be felt bad.
4. It is normal for needle to wear after using for a long time.
If not achieve the effect, you have to get a new felting needles.
5. needles conservation: the material of felting needle is iron.
You'd better conserve it with best oil for long time unuse to avoid needle rust
(If you have no professional maintenance oil, home cooking oil can also do the job).

Since the phenomenon that relatively thin felting needle will be easily broken exists,
pls note that it is the normal wear and tear and not because of quality problems.
So it is an advice that you buy a few more once.
Especially beginners are more easier to break the felting needle for uneven force.
