Fabrics To Needle Felt Onto

Fabrics to Needle Felt On To

What fabrics are best to needle felt on to?
Choosing the best fabric for your needle felting projects and pictures can seem a bit confusing if you are a beginner.

In this video tutorial, we identify a variety of fabrics you might needle felt onto, and things to consider when selecting fiber for your project - it can really depend on what you are needle felting! 

FABRIC TO NEEDLE FELT ON TO PDF
Includes a partial list of fabric you might consider needle felting onto.

Choosing the right fabric and the right finish for a project that will last is key. 

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 is the purpose of the project?
Decorative, functional, wearable?

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?

Dog Days of Summer

The dog days of summer are upon us and you don’t have to be an astrology buff to know that these are some of the hottest days of the year. These are the days that we give extra water to the birds and plants, perhaps take ourselves to the beach (or at least wish we were, there!

When it is really hot outside, it is also a perfect time to be inside felting and crafting. We have lots of fun summer projects to felt up like needle felting a beach gnome, needle felting sand pipers, needle felting beach huts or jelly fish.

If you are feeling adventurous, check out our online classes for needle felting a narwhal or waves crashing on the beach.
