I'm brand new to needle felting and have just bought the Santa and Robin pdf's from your etsy shop. They instructions and the templates look really clear and detailed but finding these fab video's for them both will be a huge help too. Can't wait to get started when my supplies arrive 🥰 Thanks for making it easy, and fun, to get the confidence up to give needle felting a go xx

How do I know what felt/wool to use? I’m very new to this!

[@juliesfeltedfriends]

I have a video that explains briefly about the tools and different types of wool here: ua-cam.com/video/5FfOgujjoBE/v-deo.html but there's also another needle felter who does very good videos on felting, felts by Philippa, she has a video that goes into more depth about various wools that you can use which you might want to watch, it's here: ua-cam.com/video/JRaQittDDWI/v-deo.html hope this helps 😊 thanks for watching
