Finding the SECRET TO NEEDLE FELTING A SMOOTH FINISH

I investigate various ways of needle felting a smooth finish and share with you my findings, answering questions such as:
Does the type of wool you use make the needle felted item smoother and not fluffy?
How do you get a felted finish that isn’t holey?
Do you need to buy special needle felting needles?
Or are there other methods you can use that don’t cost anything?

I’ll show you all the techniques I tried such as applying heat by ironing the needle felted item, using cling film and trimming your finished felted item and I’ll show you what affect stabbing a lot more with specialist needles such as 42 gauge triangular needle or a 40 gauge twisted or spiral needle.

Your videos are absolutely brilliant and I appreciate you taking the time (and stabs) to make them so informative. I find you are very clear and concise in your explanations with a great sense of humor that makes them fun and easy to watch. Thank you for helping me to become a better felter.

I see all these needle felted items and they are so amazing but when I try to make a simple ball or egg shape it looks like crap. I love finding you videos because you are telling me you have stabbed these things 1000 times I know I have not done that. I need to start small. thanks for posting these videos.
