Felting is experiencing a great revival since today’s sewer is wanting various techniques to embellish clothing, appliqué, quilting and other craft projects and felting gives that textured "arty" appearance. It’s fun too, because different fibres give a variety of results.
The Clover Felting Needle Tool comes with 5 fine needles inserted into a comfortable to use handle. These needles are fine pointed to pierce fabric easily and have sort of "barbed" edges to allow the fibre to interlace the fabric.
How To: Place a piece of felt, woollen fabric or other suitable fabric
over a softly padded base (or use the special Felting Needle Mat by Clover),
lay some fibres such as mohair, textured knitting yarn, Angelina Fiber etc.
over the fabric, then pierce lightly with the Felting Tool. No thread or glue
needed. Makes wonderful appliqués.
