How felting works is there are microscopic barbs on the needle (like porcupine quills) . when you stab the wool you essentially tangle the fibers , making it more dense thus making it smaller. hope the explanation helped 😊 tbh loved your fuzzy creations , so cute ❤️❤️ * Tyvm for the likes guys 🤗

But it has to be some sort of animal hair, because the "scaly" structure of hair is what makes the fibers grab onto each other.

Like Laura Eubanks, the succulent and cactus queen of the world always says: "Every garden needs a pha!!us". She also constantly reminds us that: "If your succulent stands up, you've done your job". So based on those criteria, I think Evan's cactus passes inspection.

As an avid felter myself, I can say with confidence that you guys did a fantastic job on these! Felting can be tricky and requires a lot of patience (and band-aids), but once you get the hang of it it's so satisfying. Like sculpting or painting with wool! I'd love to see more felting videos in the future ♥

The chorus of "ow"s gave me a good laugh while I've been sick! I love watching you two branch out into new ideas and crafts.

LOVE THIS! Can’t wait to see more… maybe a live stream?? TIP: you can use regular felt sheets to make eyes or mouth and it can sometimes be easier to attach than the stringy dots and lines. Also, after you are finished, you can take a pair of scissors and trim off all the strangely hairs that are sticking out for a much more finished look. 💖 Your first needle felting creations turned out SO cute!

@mariapizzaa

I've only felted one thing before but wow the felt sheet thing is such a great tip!

Wool is so neat! It is able to felt together because of all of the microscopic scales on the individual fibers that like to grip together. It can also create laundry mishaps (shrinking) when wool garments are washed too hot or put into the dryer.

@lrizzard

ooh interesting!

Needle felting is my favorite stress reliever because you just stab the wool until it does what you want! It's a great way to deal with pent-up anger and end up with beautiful art at the same time

This turned out so cute. You guys did a good job. Though Evan was making me a bit nervous everytime he looked away while he was using the needle. 😆

I recommend having a leather guard for both the index finger and the thumb, since both are in pokey range. I always use both. Also, you can turn pretty almost any yarn into something you can needle-felt if you use two dog brushes. basically brush the yarn with one, about 1-2 inches at a time (cut the yarn so you have several strands). This way you can have different colours without having to buy a whole thing of wool.

if i'm not mistaken, i think the needles have tiny little barbs on them, so when you stab the felt, it pulls the little fibers down and tangles them into each other, making them stick together. I think. Edited for spelling

@dbseamz

Жыл бұрын

That's the explanation I've heard! The other part is that you have to use some kind of animal hair (wool is most common but people have used combings from their pets as well) because the surface of each fiber has little "scales" that catch on each other when the fibers are tangled by the needle's barbs.

It's easy you just keep stabbing and squeezing it til it takes the shape you want 💕

So cute! Needle felting is so much fun. If anyone wants to dive further into felting I would also suggest trying out wet felting. It is way messier due to the soapy water but it is such a cool process and the options on what to do are basically endless. First time I tried wet felting I made candycanes for my chrismas tree. I embedded a wire in them so I would be able to change how long and wide the was curv when hanging them in the tree. It's been at least ten years, I put them up every year and they still look just as good as they did when they were newly finished.

So good you guys! Needle felting is such a fun and cute craft. Every time I see needle felting, I think of my cousin who is needle felting the illustrations for a children's book...they've been at it for a couple years

Katelyn's Face At 0:00 Is Priceless🤣 Perfect Start To The Video.

So the needles have tiny little hooks integrated in them, they are special kinds of needles specifically for this to help 'hook' the felt together to itself. As you "poke" or 'stab' it it hooks to itself and forms whatever shape you're making. You guys make my day every time I watch your videos! Thanks, keep it up (: love you guys!

EandK are living proof of people succeeding at life while having, not only many hobbies, but ALL hobbies.

ARGH! I love needle felting because there is something incredibly satisfying about that "crunchy" sound that's made by using surgically sharp, barbed needles and using them to stab a bit of wool. Crazy, right? I've had fun with this for years. Then you two do a video on it and I can't make it two minutes in without being sure you're going to stab the fool out of yourselves! Those needles make holes in you because they have barbs! >< Query, which needle felting device did each of you prefer? I have everything I saw you using (but not in a kit) and so I'm interested in what you really think of the supplies.

Lol, I did this with my cat's fur once, and made him a sombrero!

3:30 Cactus adjacent with Evan and Katelyn, yeah!

For a first attempt those turned out amazing! I can’t say my first needle felted project looked that good😂

It’s actually forming together by the needles pushing the fibers together into tiny little knots!! It’s really fascinating honestly! Love your content🤍

I've been doing felting for a long while now and I've never been more excited to watch XD BTW if yall do paintings or anything make sure you guys get the fun textures like nepps and locks (also pay attention to the type of needle you have, it changes depending on the type of work you do)

Fun! I never would have thought to try this. The little smiles on Katelyn's mushrooms are so cuuute! 🥹

OMG. Following Bob Ross painting with wool!! (make it small tho so you dont need as much wool) i'd love to see it! you need like a flat piece of felt on a flat foam piece as a canvas :)))) ❤️

in the most loving way possible, Evan's cactus looks like a haunted Larry the Cucumber from Veggie Tales.

That is so adorable! I need more of these videos

I just picked up needle felting supplies this month too! I'm gonna try to make a "painting" on some canvas that I originally bought for punch needle work. I'd love to see you two try punch needle/rug making too!

Basically with needle felting, it interweaves the various fibers. This is easier to do with wool because it tends to have a higher friction with it's fellow wool fibers.

These turned out to be super adorable.

at 9:49 jazzy "take me out to the ball game" starts to play lol

I love needle felting, but I feel terror every time I pick up a needle xD A few years ago I dropped one on my carpet without realising, it was kinda stood up at an angle and I stepped on it - it went a solid couple centimeters into my foot :') I had a similar experience where I stepped on a sewing needle and it fully impaled through my little toe xD Gotta experience pain in order to create beauty I suppose haha

Needle felting is the best! Just a tip from someone who's been doing this most of their life, the best part of needle felting is the connection with the wool. Starting with a kit is great, but if you want to take the next step, try and find a local sheep farmer and meet the sheep you get fleece from. I'm not sure if you have any local sheep farmers, so regardless of where you live, PeaceFleece is a great example of a fleece company that cares about the sheep and the history of wool:)

I love how this was practice for needle felting with joobs fur

When you stab the felt, it basically creates tiny tangles in the fibers that cause it to... well... tangle together. If you've every seen a mat of hair/fur, it's similar to simulating that, but controlled.

This was too adorable 😹 Joob's reaction is always my favorite

Oh these are PERFECT LMAO, and honestly hats off to both of you for not tainting the wool colours with... Well.. stab juice is maybe the YT friendly way to say such- Sadly I haven't had chance to watch your gaming channel in awhile; but if you don't mind me suggesting so.. the designs of these are REALLY really cute - and they remind me of a game called ooblets! Sadly it's single player, but it's kind of like a silly stardew X Pokémon esque farming sim; followed by cute dance battles, doing favours for the town etc.. it's bizzare, simple and cute! Plus it comes with polite looking mushrooms that very much remind me of your new felt friend! But besides that, this was really fun to watch. I enjoy seeing you both experiment with new mediums - and it's been a blast seeing that expand over the past 3 years of so now! (I can't quite remember when the bucket stool video came out, but close enough!)

I love the shade of Katelyn's editing!^^ When Evan explains how the needles work...😅🤣

I have seen needle felting kits in stores and have seen Rachel Maksy needle felt a frog and a mouse knight and I think, that looks fun and then I realize I have no room in my home for any more objects and am sad. I am working on reducing the amount of stuff I have. Someday I will have room for a felted creature. ✨Life goals. ✨

The fact that evan starts talking and she just zones out. A true marriage right there 🤣🤣🤣
