   Thanks for the needle felting workshop at the Maker Faire on Saturday, I got so into making my next felt ball when I got home that I broke my needle, am totally addicted now and had to resort to a late night spree on eBay for more needles. Have SO many questions, which is the best resource for needle felting? Helen ( the girl who made the cat)

     Hi Helen,
     go to World of Wool for needles, quick delivery and friendly staff.there are many types, I buy the ones in blue pots.38 gauge star.
     There are quite a few books, ones that teach you how to make animals. You can always buy more fibre from me including the washed fleece for inside creations. I’m trying to arrange a Build your own Snowman workshop this side of Christmas so make sure you subscribe to this blog. I will have a new web site just for workshops soon.
     Let me know how else I an help you with your new addiction!

   Thanks Jay, it’s the terminology I am having trouble understanding. I have done a fair bit of Internet investigation and it’s terms such as rovings, and other words and it’s difficult to understand the difference as a novice. I have a set of needles coming already, and I want to create a picture from the colours I bought at the weekend from you, but not sure if I need to mount it onto something (like you would paint on a canvas)
   Will def be in touch for washed fleece

     Hi Helen,
     would you like to meet up somewhere? There should be rovings/tops in your bag of dyed wool, it’s the long strips of wool. World of Wool again is a great source of info. I buy white and dye it to get the colours I need but you can buy it dyed. To make a picture you do really need a base of white wool (did you buy the washed stuff too) you can buy pre-felt(WOW) then put your colours onto it. You can just lay wool onto a foam base and needlefelt them into shape before adding the colour -’paint’. Hope this helps
