The EVERYDAY Needle Set includes:

BURGUNDY: 38 2x2x2 - Use Burgundy for medium wools, such as Corriedale and Halfbred, and initial felting of fine wools and similar fibres, such as Merino, Angora, Alpaca, Silk and fine manmade fibres such as Rayon, Soy silk, Ingeo, if they are being used for the bulk of the project. This needle is not recommended for attaching fine fibres as an embellishment.

Use Burgundy for:

• Deep penetration
• Attaching blobs of wool (eyes of felted animals)
• Joining balls together
• Creating spots within a smooth surface.

GILT: 32 2x2x2 reverse - Use Gilt for course fibres when you want to add texture to certain areas, rather than to condense and flatten. Especially handy for 3D sculptures of animals and birds. 

Use Gilt for:

• pulling fibres backwards up the surface creating a furry surface
• loosening up hard or dense felt,
• creating a hair or grass-like texture.

MAUVE: 36 2x2x2 - Use Mauve for medium wools such as Corriedale, and firming stages for coarser fibres, such as Romney, Leicester, Lincoln and Mohair

Use Mauve for:

• Children! It’s a very sturdy needle ;)
• Form or firm 3-D items.

PEACH STAR 38 2x2x2x2 - Use Peach Star for medium and fine wools. This needle is a finer version of Red Star.blending pieces together, patching holes.

Use Peach Star for:

• blending pieces of flat felt together instead of using a seam.
• including patching a hole.
• using a shallow stabbing action.

PINK 32 3x3x0 - Use Pink for cross-bred and other coarse wools, such as Romney, Leicester or Lincoln, and early stages of medium wools such as Corriedale and Halfbred. Pink is strong, penetrates easily, works over a wide depth range, and rarely breaks.

Use Pink for:

• increasing felt density with deep asymmetric action especially in 3-dimentional felting. A finer similar needle is Gold.
• when working from the ends of a sausage-shaped ball to shorten it. Use a jiggling action.
• joining balls together or when adding additional pre felted wool in sculptural felting.
• situations where it is desirable to work over a wide depth range. This is most likely in 3-dimensional projects.
• horizontally in flat felt to draw fibres into a thin area, using an individual stabbing action where each insertion is carefully placed. This process can be supported with Blue.

RED STAR: 36 2x2x2x2 - Use Red to easily penetrate firm felt, condensing light to medium wool in early stages.

Use Red Star for:

• Forming balls
• Blending flat felt pieces together
• Patching holes
• Joining thicker yarns.
