WHAT IS NEEDLE FELTING?

Needle Felting is a technique that uses the repetitive poking motion of a barbed needle into wool fibres. This motion binds the fibres together, which then results in a firm fabric or object. This technique can be used for a variety of different projects and many find it a relaxing and therapeutic activity to do.
