Needle felting is a crafting technique that involves using a special felting needle to interlock fibers and create a solid fabric or shape. The process involves repeatedly poking the fibers with the needle until they become tightly matted and hold their shape.

The origins of needle felting are difficult to trace, as the technique has likely been used in various forms for centuries. However, the modern form of needle felting as we know it today is thought to have originated in the early 20th century in Europe.

Initially, needle felting was used primarily for industrial purposes, such as creating felted wool insoles for shoes. However, in the 1980s, the technique began to gain popularity as a crafting and artistic medium, and it has since become a popular hobby and artistic medium around the world.

Today, needle felting is used to create a wide variety of crafts, including figurines, dolls, jewelry, and home decor items. The technique is also used in the fashion industry to create felted wool garments and accessories.

Overall, needle felting is a versatile and creative crafting technique that continues to evolve and grow in popularity. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced crafter, there’s always something new to learn and explore in the world of needle felting.
