Felting has been used for centuries to mat wool fibers together. Needle felting is much newer. Rather than using water and soap like the older “wet felting” technique, felters use a special barbed needle. Needle felting offers more control over the final product and lends itself well to sculpting detailed pieces. Birdie and Blossom make and market craft kits, including a needle-felted Barn Owl in Flight.
