Ah, that makes so much sense! I was wondering why I wasn't getting the texture finish I wanted with the little kits I bought off Etsy, and it's because all the wool is roving.

@feltsbyphilippa 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, lots of kits are roving and it's just that bit harder to felt, there's a lady whose channel is wool felt xi and she uses roving and does amazing pieces so it's possible but it's carded is my preferred wool, thanks for watching and commenting x

I really wish that I'd found your video when I first started needle felting! I just couldn't understand how people made such lovely animals. I was struggling with tops and merino roving and it was so frustrating. Of course eventually I discovered carded wool and I was away and my felting life was made so much easier! I do love your videos. Thank you!

Very informative! I got back into the craft recently and splurged a lot on supplies and materials lol. I did try some “core wool” after learning its good for base/cores and I liked how much faster it was. However-I started my current project of my oc (original character) who is a purple (cheshire themed) cat, and so I used the finer wool for coloration which was relatively fine. But then later I’d notice white spots and it can be a bit annoying to fill them in. So I just recently ordered some carded and bulky wools! I got a similar purple in these wools so next time I want to experiment with it and see if it works better as a base. I also got a couple of other natural colors to test out. I think I’ll use white for projects that are already white or mostly white, unless I intentionally want some white to show through haha I’m glad you can get stuff like the carded wools in an array of colors because some of my planned projects and quite colorful as opposed to natural colors

Philippa, I'm still having trouble with carded vs uncared, roving... some vendors dont seem to know the difference! And for a Beard of a Gnome, for example, I need roving or tops, correct? For inside of bodies, I need carded in a batt, correct? I'm still confused!

@feltsbyphilippa 2 жыл бұрын

For inside of an item check out my core wool video. For suppliers see video below and check out comments as I don't use US suppliers but others have recommended. In America I think roving can be called either so go for carded roving or roving batts. If in doubt just call the supplier and have a chat. You can still use roving or tops, I just card them myself (see carding video) but it takes longer to felt x kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j5uBibupqr6mmmw.html

I think the green rope and the merino rope are just both roving but the merino has such a long staple and is so fine. The green one is probably corriedale which has more crimp to it. Sliver is generally the term for other types of fibre, like the silk blend you had. The variegated brown one is gorgeous, I use this kind all the time as I love multi colours. carded together they give a great speckled look to firmly felted pieces. I've never had a problem with them getting firm. I work on a much smaller scale though, miniature bears, bunnys, cats etc. :)

@feltsbyphilippa 3 жыл бұрын

Wools are so varied and roving can be the confusing one for beginners. Once carded it's much easier for a beginner but doesn't always come carded. Carded wool felts so much faster and is the best to start with. Over here slivers are rope like not batts in presentation, so many variations it's no wonder beginners get confused.

@@feltsbyphilippa Thank you for answering my comment I am very new to needle felting and was a bit unsure cause the local area I live in doesn't sell any needle felting supplies . So I must order it from Takealot. And Fibre wool Is all that they got . I am new to your channel so I wil definitely all your videos and follow your tutorials they are easy to understand and you can consider me as a new subscriber to your channel . Thank you that I can communicate with you so I don't make a mistake. Can you maybe do a tutorial for making a pug.

Can you use Angora Goat wool?

@feltsbyphilippa 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, you can, it's good as a decorative top coat but might take a while to felt for a body as it's so fine. Wool that has been carded is best x

I'm afraid it's a no for children as I sell mine so there's no insurance or safety testing, they can easily be pulled apart and the eyes are an issue too, adult ornaments are their category, sorry x

@LeezaJNZ 3 жыл бұрын

I firmly felt jointed bears and they are very hardy. If felting is done very firmly they are safe for older children. I wouldn't expect anything handmade to be baby safe though. My son used to play with his like action figures! :)

@michaw.2168 3 жыл бұрын

I can see both sides on a busines level: it's a lot safer to state that the felt animal's are not for children because it could be a liability, "if" something happens! On the other side a family member or friend marking one for a child, you would know what age and how the child will play with it. Thank you both for your advice!!

I really love all the felting videos you produce, but as a hearing challenged person, the background music in the videos is very distracting. You have a lovely voice which is very pleasant to hear, it would be so helpful if it wasn't competing with the music. Respectfully, Carla
