Instructions

Wool for needle felting is available in many lovely colours, but you don’t always have the exact colour you want in your stash, so use hand carders to blend your own!

Not only is this economical, but your needle felting will benefit from your own unique shades of colour.

Thank you for this! I just started needle felting in Jan and when I looked at the price of carders I was worried it would be a waste of money since I wasn't sure how to use them. Now I know getting carders will be worth it and I can use them.

The carders in the tutorial are only the small ones so they're not too expensive. You don't need the large carders for needle felting.

Interesting. I've never felted anything, on purpose anyway. Might give this a try. Thanks.
