Choosing the best fabric for your needle felting projects and pictures can seem a bit confusing if you are a beginner.
Choosing the best fabric for your needle felting projects and pictures can seem a bit confusing if you are a beginner.
Includes a partial list of fabric you might consider needle felting onto.
Of utmost importance is the FORM and the FUNCTION of the item you are needle felting.
Consider the PURPOSE of the project first, then choose your fabric.
Characteristics of the fabric you might consider:
Woven vs. non-woven
Open weave vs. tight weave
Thin vs. thick
Fragile vs. stable
Stretchy vs. non-stretchy
Lofty vs. compact (aka squishy vs flat)
Low surface tension vs. high surface tension (think surface "resistance")
What will happen to the fabric once you are done needle felting?
Sit on a shelf, framed, behind a mat, behind glass, in a hoop?
Mounted on wood, canvas, or something else?
Sewn into another project?
Will it get dirty? Will it ever get washed? Will it pill? Will it even hold up?
