    I keep my LF needles in their package with the card so I know for sure which ones & keeping my LF needles separate from the misc. ones I got early on or with kits I have been gifted. My favorite is a Spiral! I will be ordering the Star Spiral just to try. I do have only 3 needles I use every day. I will also like having the tubes when I order more for sure! I love my reverse needles so much! They are excellent for adding just a touch around noses & bare spots. I have made two animals using only extra firmed core wool & my reverse needle. It's a totally different texture but I really liked them. I did not like having to un-poke my finger though! lol I'll just say this, I would not buy my needles from anyone else but LF, they are all excellent!

    This Wooly Wednesday was so helpful. I am new to felting, and the explanation of the different needles and how to use them was so helpful. This video cleared up all my confusion of felting needles. Understanding the difference of felt vs prefelt was all new information for me. Thanks so much! Also, I just love the needle storage tubes. It seems like a much safer way to store and organize them. And who doesn't love being organized! Thanks again for a great show.
