- Begin by roughly shaping wool as required. The more you compress your wool the less time it will take to needle felt. Place your wool onto the surface. Using the coarse needle, repeatedly insert it into the wool, shaping as you go. Keep peeling your work off the foam as you go so it doesn’t get stuck. When it becomes difficult to insert the needle, swap for a finer one and continue until your work is a firm shape. This carded NZ wool can also be used for wet felting and spinning.

- To start needle felting you only need 3 things: a special felting needle with barbs, some wool and a surface to stab into. 36 triang and 38 star will work well with this wool. 40 or 42 can be used for finer detail but are not necessary. This Maori wool is a lovely wool to work with. Please don’t start with Merino wool tops as these are hard to work with and can put you off. As a surface you can use any cushion or a sponge. You can use an old piece of cloth on the top to protect your surface.
