The Program:

WHAT IS NEEDLE FELTING?

Needle felting starts with these supplies: wool, felting needle(s), and, in our case, a wool ornament.

We will be doing beginning needle felting and it is begun by rolling up a small amount of wool (a round wool ornament in our case) and stabbing it with a special needle. When the wool is stabbed with the felting needle it pulls the wool into itself. By stabbing the wool with the needle over and over while turning the wool ornament it continues to pull wool in and the wool, with its tiny scales, locks together thus creating your pattern (Information taken from bearcreekfelting.com)
