Felting Mat and Needle Tool Starter Set 9.75 inch Round Felting Pillow for Wool Felting Projects

Take your needle felting projects up a notch with our Felting Mat and Needle Set — a must-have combo for beginners and experienced felters alike. Durable, easy to use, and made to last, this set helps make felting more fun and frustration-free.

The felting mat is made from high-quality foam and gives you a sturdy but forgiving surface to work on. It measures 9.75 inches across and is 1 3/8 inches thick, making it the perfect size for most projects. The dense foam helps your needle glide smoothly while protecting your table underneath. No more uneven spots — just clean, polished results.

The set also includes a needle felting tool designed for detailed, precise work. The 3 needles are strong, reliable, and built to hold up through lots of projects.

⚠️ Please note: felting needles are very sharp, so use with care.

What’s Included:
1 Round felting mat
1 wooden needle felting handle. The needles are replaceable.

How to use:

1. Prepare Your Work Area: Clear a flat and stable surface to work on. Ensure that the area is clean and free from any debris that could interfere with your felting process.

2. Place the Felting Mat: Position your felting mat on your work surface. The felting mat provides a cushioned and stable base for your felting project, protecting both your work surface and the needles.

3. Prepare Your Wool: Arrange your wool fibers or roving in the desired shape and layers. You can overlap or stack the wool to create thickness and texture in your project.

4. Hold Your Felting Needle: Grasp the felting needle firmly but gently. Be cautious as felting needles are sharp.

5. Begin Felting: With your wool arranged on the felting mat, start gently poking the wool with the felting needle. The repeated poking action helps to mesh the fibers together, creating a solid and cohesive fabric.

6. Work Carefully: Pay attention to the depth and angle of your needle as you work. Adjust the pressure and angle of your needle to control the density and shape of your felted project.

7. Rotate Your Project: Periodically rotate your project on the felting mat to ensure even felting and to prevent the fibers from sticking to the mat.

8. Add Details and Texture: As you continue felting, you can add additional layers of wool or create intricate designs and details by carefully poking the wool with the felting needle.

9. Inspect Your Work: Periodically inspect your felted project to ensure that the fibers are blending evenly and that the desired shape and texture are achieved.

10. Finish Your Project: Once your felting project is complete, gently remove it from the felting mat. You may need to trim any excess fibers or reshape your project as desired.

11. Clean and Store Your Felting Mat: After use, clean your felting mat by gently brushing off any loose fibers or debris. Store it in a dry and safe place until your next felting project.
