6 Felting Needles

6 Felting Needles | Size 36 Star

Sale price$9.50

My go-to needle for starting wool sculptures! The 36 Gauge Star pulls wool fibers in efficiently, helping you turn loose wool into firm shapes and build the foundation of your project.

This is the size I use most often when beginning my animals. As the wool becomes denser and the needle becomes harder to insert, I switch to the finer 38 Cross Star to continue firming and refining.

  • Excellent for starting and shaping 3D sculptures
  • Helps compact loose wool into a firm foundation
  • Pairs with our Single Needle Holder for a comfortable grip
  • Includes 6 needles
Re-stocking soon
Product Details

The Groz-Beckert 36 Gauge Star is a favorite in my own felting. Its four-sided star working blade has barbs along all four edges, helping it catch and tuck wool fibers into your sculpture efficiently.

When I use it

I reach for this needle at the beginning of a project to establish the basic shapes and felt them firmly. It works especially well with Bear Creek Felting wool for building the structure that supports a finished sculpture.

Once the wool becomes compact and the 36 Star meets more resistance, I switch to the 38 Cross Star to continue shaping and firming.

 FROM PASTURE TO PRODUCT 

From Our Flock to Your Hands 

At Bear Creek Felting, our story begins on our North Dakota sheep farm, where I've been carefully breeding sheep for their felting wool since 2005. From choosing the right breeding stock to caring for our flock, every decision is made with wool quality in mind.

Just a few miles from the farm, we wash, dye, and card our wool in small batches at our Fort Ransom fiber mill. It's a hands-on process that allows us to pay close attention to the quality of the fiber we share with you.

Whether you're creating your first needle-felted animal or adding to a growing collection, my goal is to provide beautiful materials and tools that make your felting experience a joy.
