six felting needles size 40 gauge star on white background

6 Felting Needles | Size 40 Star

Sale price$9.50

One of my favorite needles for felt sheets, coasters, and firm wool sculptures! The fine 40 Gauge Star lets you continue felting when a thicker needle becomes difficult to insert.

I reach for this needle for adding designs to dense felt, refining details, and smoothing the surface of my sculptures.

  • Excellent for felting onto firm felt sheets and coasters
  • Useful for finishing densely felted sculptures
  • A finer option when 36 and 38 gauge needles meet too much resistance
  • Includes 6 needles

Product Details

The 40 Gauge Star is a fine needle I reach for when working with very firm wool. Its slender working blade penetrates dense felt more easily than a thicker needle, allowing me to continue refining a project as it becomes compact.

When I use it

This is one of my favorite needles for adding wool designs to felt sheets and felt coasters. These firm surfaces can be difficult to work with using a heavier needle, and the 40 Star makes it easier to felt the design into place.

I also use it for finishing sculptures after my 36 Star and 38 Cross Star become harder to insert. It helps me refine contours and smooth the surface with smaller needle marks.

Product details

  • Gauge: 40
  • Working blade: Star
  • Quantity: 6 needles
  • Best for: Dense felt, felt sheets, coasters, and finishing work

 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.
