CLOVER FELTING NEEDLE TOOL & ACCESSORIES
A whole new way to appliqué
Add designs and embellishments without glue or thread! The age old technique of felting or punching is the interlacing of woolen fibers - mechanical piercing them together to form a strong bond. It is great fun for adding beautiful texture and a 3-dimensional appearance to both sides of a project. Use this handy Felting Needle Tool with its 5 sharp barbed needles to felt fabrics together. Combo includes Felting Needle Tool with 5 fine weight and 5 heavy weight needles for use with a wide range of fabric, and small Felting Needle Mat. Try it on knit handiwork, sweaters and garments, wall hangings, throws, rugs, and more.
