How felting works is there are microscopic barbs on the needle (like porcupine quills) . when you stab the wool you essentially tangle the fibers , making it more dense thus making it smaller. hope the explanation helped 😊 tbh loved your fuzzy creations , so cute ❤️❤️ * Tyvm for the likes guys 🤗

@dbseamz Год назад

But it has to be some sort of animal hair, because the "scaly" structure of hair is what makes the fibers grab onto each other.

Like Laura Eubanks, the succulent and cactus queen of the world always says: "Every garden needs a pha!!us". She also constantly reminds us that: "If your succulent stands up, you've done your job". So based on those criteria, I think Evan's cactus passes inspection.

@amelia_rose_333 Год назад

LOVE THIS! Can’t wait to see more… maybe a live stream?? TIP: you can use regular felt sheets to make eyes or mouth and it can sometimes be easier to attach than the stringy dots and lines. Also, after you are finished, you can take a pair of scissors and trim off all the strangely hairs that are sticking out for a much more finished look. 💖 Your first needle felting creations turned out SO cute!

@mariapizzaa Год назад

I've only felted one thing before but wow the felt sheet thing is such a great tip!

@kilianalexander2736 Год назад

I recommend having a leather guard for both the index finger and the thumb, since both are in pokey range. I always use both. Also, you can turn pretty almost any yarn into something you can needle-felt if you use two dog brushes. basically brush the yarn with one, about 1-2 inches at a time (cut the yarn so you have several strands). This way you can have different colours without having to buy a whole thing of wool.

@katiehowell8852 Год назад

Wool is so neat! It is able to felt together because of all of the microscopic scales on the individual fibers that like to grip together. It can also create laundry mishaps (shrinking) when wool garments are washed too hot or put into the dryer.

@lrizzard Год назад

ooh interesting!

@kkcliffy2952 Год назад

Needle felting is my favorite stress reliever because you just stab the wool until it does what you want! It's a great way to deal with pent-up anger and end up with beautiful art at the same time

@onewomanarmy6451 Год назад

So cute! Needle felting is so much fun. If anyone wants to dive further into felting I would also suggest trying out wet felting. It is way messier due to the soapy water but it is such a cool process and the options on what to do are basically endless. First time I tried wet felting I made candycanes for my chrismas tree. I embedded a wire in them so I would be able to change how long and wide the was curv when hanging them in the tree. It's been at least ten years, I put them up every year and they still look just as good as they did when they were newly finished.

@zephyr4254 Год назад

if i'm not mistaken, i think the needles have tiny little barbs on them, so when you stab the felt, it pulls the little fibers down and tangles them into each other, making them stick together. I think. Edited for spelling

@dbseamz Год назад

That's the explanation I've heard! The other part is that you have to use some kind of animal hair (wool is most common but people have used combings from their pets as well) because the surface of each fiber has little "scales" that catch on each other when the fibers are tangled by the needle's barbs.

@zephyr4254 Год назад

@@dbseamz yeah, like how you use horse hair for bows because the barbs/scales on them pluck the string a bajillion times, making a continuous noise

So the needles have tiny little hooks integrated in them, they are special kinds of needles specifically for this to help 'hook' the felt together to itself. As you "poke" or 'stab' it it hooks to itself and forms whatever shape you're making. You guys make my day every time I watch your videos! Thanks, keep it up (: love you guys!
