The Pros and Cons of Needle Felting Mats

June 16, by Liza Adams. Leave a Comment

 

When you are working with a resource like felting mats, that tend to wear out over time, you will want to know as much as you can about your options.  I’ve found over the years that I’ve used a number of different kinds of mats depending on what style of items I was making at the time, how much space I had or where I was doing most of my work.  A number of relevant reasons can lean you toward a different style of mat.

Over at Acorn Felting you will find a really comprehensive page devoted to just this topic.  Not only does she give you the different kinds of mats but runs down the pros and cons for each style.  And, bonus, at the end of the page she has a chart listing each style and and relevant reasons you might consider when investing in them.  From how it effects the needles to whether they are environmentally friendly this is a great resource for the beginner and the more weathered felting alike.

To find the page just visit the link here.

I’m sure you will find it really useful so bookmark it and make it available to check back with whenever you are shopping for your next felting mat!

Happy Felting!
