EVERYDAY needles

BROWN: 40 3x3x3 - For medium wools, such as Corriedale and Halfbred, and other fibres of similar diameter such as human hair and Hemp, and for fast, early-stage felting of fine wools such as Polworth and Merino. This needle is not recommended for attaching fine embellishing fibres.

Use Brown for:

• sculpturing prominent depressions and for sculptural projects when forming nostrils and eye sockets with a jiggling action. For similar but softer action change to Cream.
• preparing and positioning medium wool fibres prior to wet felting coarse fibres.
• quickly adding rough surface textures and embellishments in medium and fine wool projects, but is more inclined to leave a pitted surface than other 40 gauge needles.

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.

CREAM: 40 2x2x2 - Use Cream for early and firming stages of felting for fine wools or for fast deep action with easy penetration on medium wool. The Cream needle works particularly well for Merino when other needles seem to not grip the fibre. This needle tends to bend easily.

Use Cream for:

• when other needles just slip by without catching hold of the fibre.
• very fine fibres like Merino with a high micron count or baby Camel or Cashmere.
• attaching hairlike fibre to felt (Mohair or dogs hair).

LIME : 32 3x3x3 - all fibres and prepping for wet felting.

Use Lime to

• secure fibres prior to wet felting
• define design outlines prior to wet felting
• speedy initial felting during early stages of 3-D projects.

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.

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.
