Any good guide on what needle for what application? I currently have only two sizes and feel I could have an upgrade
Sometimes, I have tasks that require me stabbing while twisting and other times I struggle with the finish, because none of my needles seem to catch the little floating hair at the end

I am completely obsessed with this craft already - my first creation!

Material help
I want to make a needle felted dog for my sister based off her dog. Her dog’s colouring is so unique I can’t find a colour that is even close to this dog’s colouring. Has anyone ever felted using dog hair? Is it possible, if so does anyone have tips. I was thinking of making the body of it out of normal wool and then do the outer colour layer with her fur.

What are people using as a surface to needle felt on?
Hi, I've recently started needle felting and have 2 foam blocks to work on. My work keeps felting to the blocks and leaves it looking messy. Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative felting surface please? Thankyou for your help

A quick project: Nigel and Marmalade!
Anyone familiar with this duo? If you like dark silly humor, 'Nigel and Marmalade' is for you!

Is it possible to identify this?
I have recently acquired a metric ton of this roving, but I am not exactly sure what it is.
Hints: it was haphazardly labeled ‘lambswool’, but it was referred to by the previous owner as ‘merino’.
I googled and googled and it seems like it can’t be both… right?
I do know it came from a yarn factory, but that factory makes a lot of different products.
Can anyone shine some light?

Felting kit (this looks awesome for a first timer kit)
I ordered this kit out of sheer curiosity and 100% impulse (which I don't usually do). I was excited about the tools and testing out this brand's felt quality (Maboo). It was a decent price for everything you get, and has a nice selection of colored felt. It comes with 3 different sets of black eyes, key ring attachments, plyers, and an 8 needle tool, single needle tool, an awl, leather finger guards, plyers, tweezers, glue gun sticks, a stack of stencils...and more. Earmuffs and knife not included. I kind of impulse bought this, since I already have most of these tools. I did have to trash my plyers in a recent move, so those are going to be really handy, and I usually use E600 for glue. But.. if you are looking for a starter kit, I'd say this looks like a good one.
