Can I use some basic sharp needle for needle felting, or i need some other kind of a needle? :)

@mischa11051981 You need barbed felting needles - the barbs catch the wool and tangle it into felt - I explain how it works on my website - seem my profile for the link

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is the technical name of the felt you used in the video? If I were to go to a crafts store to buy one, what should I ask for? What is the name of the needled you used? Thanks in advance =D

[feltalive]

Not stupid at all!! I am using Norwegian C1 Felting Batts. You won't likely find it in your craft stores. You may find Merino or Corriedale Roving - But I explain different types of wool and needles on my website - see my profile - I can't seem to post a link here.

I love needle felting too but you are so much more talented than me, I just do little animals and such. I will later take on the big task at felting people. Awesome and creative work! Thanks too for the tip too about keeping the torso a soft core, makes a lot sense to me now :-D

[feltalive]

Thanks so much! I've been at it about two years now but I haven't done many animals - I just jumped right in to making people.

can you do this with a double needle and no felt pad?

i'm on a super tight budget is why i'm asking.

do you have to use a double needle, will a singe work ok??

It's a potato! 

[08sorrow80]

thanks a lot for the tutorial! Its a great help!

I did have a question though. How do you solve the problem of the wool getting fluffy? I can poke the wool as much as I want but I'll still have threads sticking out. Makes me want to kill it and shout BE SMOOTH. Any ideas on this? xP

Thank you, this is very well explained and easy to follow :D
