You must enter on the Gourmet Felt blog, not here! Would you like to win some Free wool of your choice, 2 premium felting needles, and some cute “Hello kitty” noses with washers? ($20 value for all) These felting needles are Gerry’s favorite by far! They are very comfy with the soft rubber tip so they don’t dig into your fingers! The #38 star is medium with extra barbs on it for fast detailing! The #40 is for fine fiber like merino and it leaves smaller holes in the surface. You’ll love them as she does! The “Hello Kitty” noses are 6 different sizes! All you have to do is tell Gerry the best tip that has really helped in your needle felting adventure! Leave the tip in a comment with your wool choice at Gourmet Felt! Winner gets all!!
Don’t have a best tip because I am a first time visitor to your site~ I want to know more about needle felting…so I’ll be back to learn.
I’m glad I found you.
So far, I have only used wool roving for my cloth art dolls. (see site above)

Let me know how to learn more about needle felting. I think I’ll visit the local library for research! See my art dolls at beadyeyesdolls.posterous.com
Hi Connie,
Maybe you can find some of these books at your library, they are all good. I went to you blog and your dolls are amazing? http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_2_14?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=needle+felting&sprefix=needle+felting
I went to your blog, not you blog LOL
I like the NEEDLE FELTING Natural Alpaca Eco Friendly my favorite by Fiber Artist GERRY
I really like the Gourmet fiber mix. The best tip I received was to lighten up on the felting needle.after that I got a little better,I am still learning.
I haven’t been felting for long, and have only tried little projects using the plastic forms. I do have the brushes to felt on, but found some dense white, plastic like stryofoam in some big packing crates that I love to felt on. I had only seen this in very small pieces in kits in the store. My first bigger project, well big for me was a mermaid. I was happy how the body came out, but the face left a lot to be desired. Much practice is needed. You can see the mermaid and my felted center silk flower pins on my blog in the archives March 2010.
Thanks for a chance to win your wonderful giveaway. Elaine
