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?
