Deviousness |
I get all of my materials off of ebay. I bought a starter kit (there quite a few options I think) which came with a load of the barbed needles in different sizes, a sponge mat to use as a base and a variety of colours of wool.
I don't know much about wool varieties since I pretty much stick with merino wool as it's so fine and soft, but I would recommend buying some form of core wool (cheaper, courser wool that felts quickly) or polyester padding (you know the type you would use to stuff a bear) as the main form of your sculpts. Once you're happy with the size and shape of it, you can then cover it in the coloured merino wool. This just saves time and your more expensive materials.
Sorry if you knew all of this already by the way
Good luck with your travels into the magical land of needle felting and I hope I was helpful
do you sell?
