Felting Needles & Punches

Add to Wishlist

Needle felting is easy and quick with endless possibilities to create beautiful and unique flat and 3-D art forms. This form of dry felting just needs fibre and felting needles.

The needles are made from high-quality carbon steel and come in packs of 10 or 100. Choose from triangular, star, spiral and reverse barb needles, the last designed to pull fibre out of an object rather than push it in, ideal for creating fur or hair.

Our needle felting punches can safely store 3 or 5 needles for even quicker felting. The punch is made from beech hardwood and has a turned comfortable hollow handle.

The Wooden Felting Needle Punch comes complete with 5 medium needles.

The Student Needle Punch comes complete with 3 medium needles.

Which Needle is right for me?

Not sure where to start? Every fibre is a little different, but the 36 gauge medium needle is a great all-rounder for most fibres, even your pet's fur!

Triangular Felting Needles - Barbs on 3 sides
32 Gauge (coarse)
- A sturdy needle good for working with coarse fibres and firmly attaching pieces. Not great for detail or a neat surface.
36 Gauge (medium) - A good needle for making the bulk of a 3D piece and attaching pieces well. Not good for any detail work.
40 Gauge (fine) - A fine needle for detail work and getting a neat surface. Best not to use it when working with coarse fibres or for rough sculpting/bulk work.

Star Felting Needles - Barbs on 4 sides
38 Gauge
- A great all-round needle, good for finer work and finer wools as well as bulky sculpting work, which is why it's the needle in our kits.

Spiral Felting Needles - Barbs that twist around the needle
36 Gauge
- The twisted needles felt faster while reducing the surface holes other needles make. They are less good for bulk sculpting work.

Reverse Barb Felting Needles
40 Gauge
- The barbs go the other way, pulling the fibres out rather than pushing them in. This is useful to create a fluffy finish on a well-felted piece.
