Ok but E&K's ability to not swear when they stab themselves with felting needles is a testament to their wholesomeness 🐱

@allenroughton Год назад

You use the wool laundry balls instead of dryer sheets. Like dryer sheets, they speed up the drying time, reduce static, and help soften a bit. They are also far friendlier to the environment.

@poetgriot18 Год назад

Exactly what I came down here to say.

@christinas8596 Год назад

I used to use dryer sheets but then switched to wool laundry balls and haven't gone back. I just love how my clothes feel with the wool balls. Also a little tip, you can put natural oils on the wool dryer balls and it will make your clothes smell soooo good.

@craftedbyalison6592 Год назад

So what does it mean if I still have a lot static in my clothes even usign wool balls?

@EvanAndKatelyn2 Год назад

aha!

@katehobbs Год назад

@@craftedbyalison6592 I've found that the wool dryer balls work best in the summer. Winter gives too much static for them to handle, and dryer sheets do a better job.

@Mister_E. Год назад

I work at a veterinary clinic, and little versions of those felt balls come out of the laundry dryer every day. I wasn't aware it was crafting supplies. 😂

@idlewildwind Год назад

The needles do break after a while. They get stabbing fatigue I guess. Totally to be expected, don't worry. (Also, those thicc dense balls probably added to the strain.) Also, your creations are heckin' adorable! The catcus is just the spitting image of its big brother and the catstronaut is so sparkly!

@kilianalexander2736 Год назад

while that is true, if you look at the video it's clearly due to the way they were stabbing

@EvanAndKatelyn2 Год назад

Thank you!!

@zebraloverbridget Год назад

They don't break after a while but they do become dull with proper use. Improperly stabbing the wool or hitting a wire armature is what causes breaks. They also don't seem to know of or have any different needle types or gauges at all. If they were to do some research they could make needle felting much faster and they wouldn't need to use the dryer balls at all. No shade to E & K though. Just stating the facts so they or anyone who sees this can learn. 💙

@mcowley895 Год назад

'stabbing fatigue' is a beautiful phrase that I will be sure to use in the future. Thanks!

@LivVvVvvvvVvvVvvvvvVvvv Год назад

Omg there was an ad and I forgot what video I clicked on and the first thing I saw was the first two sentences of your comment. Out of context that sounded terrifying. My heart skipped a beat.

@laurenimhof2602 Год назад

not sure if this was mentioned by someone else, but there are actually leather finger covers you can get to protect yourself from the needles!! I saw Rachel Maksy's needle felting video! While it may feel a bit more clumsy, it would help a lot from getting pricked too much.

@EvanAndKatelyn2 Год назад

we tried them but they were a little cumbersome - we'll live with the stabs haha

@catlover7015 Год назад

Fun fact: if you need really thin lines, you can unravel some yarn and use one of the threads from it to get a really consistent and thin line. I had to use this when making Calcifer (the fire from Howl’s Moving Castle), since his eyes didn’t look quite right without an outline.

@paigewooten2342 Год назад

I think the dryer balls also help separate clothes while spinning which helps reduce dry time by increasing air circulation between the layers of clothes

@isabella.b. Год назад

When Evan was putting the green on it I literally said out loud “Looks like a comb over” and sure enough he said it right after. That’s why I love this channel 😂

@alexxander966 Год назад

A bit later the same thing happened to me when I said "it looks like a penguin!" And he said it right after

@projectrobot8159 Год назад

Those little yellow eyes peeking out broke me. I made my husband come back and rewatch that part with me (he got up after the final reveal to grab a drink). Those are just the cutest creations EVA!!! Edit: Just realized that we were using my husband's account to cast this time and I commented under his name. He's going to be so confused. 😂😂

@GymGirl88 Год назад

Dryer balls reduce static. You can also use white vinegar instead of fabric softener and it works better without leaving a film on the clothes

@roraraptor Год назад

I loved these 😻 If there's anything I'd suggest doing different in the future, it's considering the order of operations. For example, if you started with the opening of the felt catcus and then did the outer base layer of green, you could create a 3D effect to further sell the idea that the black is "inside" the catcus. And the same with the astronaut helmet. Of course, you could still add more wool to do the same thing, but you'd save yourselves time, effort and material that way. That said, if you improvise and don't have a clear idea of exactly what you want to make, it's not so easy to plan ahead, of course. 😋

@peachymanaangel Год назад

Some felting tips, you can use upholstery foam as a core to start your felting. Also avoid cutting the wool, pulling it apart will give it a smoother finish. If it is not pulling move your hand further apart. Felting needles are brittle and snap, it happens when you adjust your angle in the felt. Lastly giving them a bath in hot soapy water and rub them (wet felting) will give them a smooth finish and fill in the holes from needles. Also you can needle felt fabric and yarn, and non wool fibers.

@sammalsikuri3828 Год назад

Ah yes, the classic "stabbed it wrong and the needle broke". Or I don't know how common it is really, I used to needle felt as a kid and our needles would always break every now and then.

What laundry balls (or tennis balls if you have ones that won't off-gas in the dryer) do is break up clumps of fabric that stuck together and don't dry in the middle. That's pretty much it. They're not anymore antistatic than a wool sock, and any chemicals they'd have on them would be used up after a few uses.

@katherinefarnsworth2573 6 месяцев назад

those laundry balls are basically reuseable dryer sheets. My dad bought them to replace dryer sheets a couple of years ago, and as long as you don't accidently take them out of the laundry room, it's actually less steps, less work, less worry, and less money down the drain.

@kath121 Год назад

Ha! Dryer balls are used in the place of dryer sheets (which typically have artificial chemicals and scents). We have a set just like those and they just live in our dryer...no extra steps involved. I also put drops of essential oil on them if I want to give the load a fresh scent. I also use natural phosphate free detergent with no crazy artificial scents. Better for us and our environment!

@Mew2Man 5 месяцев назад

Watched the first video and was really surprised you didn't break a single needle, then I realized watching this one... the kit probably only came with a single, thicker gauge needle (why Katelyn had so much trouble with the tiny mushroom eyes, the thin needles are for detailing) and, in my experience not only does distraction create SO much more breaking (and stabbing), but there's this intermediate area you get to where you feel just confident and creative enough with the needle to become dangerous.... I broke SO many more needles when I got to that point 😂
