WHAT IS NEEDLE FELTING?

Needle felting is the process of interlocking wool fibres by stabbing it with a barbed needle. The barbs catch the scales on the fibre and cause them to tangle and bind together. To create a 3D sculpture it can take hours of work and literally thousands of stabs from start to finish
