    Omg i have so much respect for people who needle felt. I crochet, tried needle felting and couldnt do it. I want to try again as i am a dog groomer and thought it be nice to try and make a needle felted version of their dogs witb their dogs hair in spare time. Is this possible?

  • @FittobeLovedFelts
    @FittobeLovedFeltsАй бұрын

    It's great you want to try again. There's so much room to create and find your own style with needle felting. I started with crochet too but felt confined to patterns. Yes a lot of people use dog fur. It can be a little silky to easily felt - depends on breed. I have made a piece from wool but added a bit of fur in with it. Let me know how you get on 😊

    So inspiring to watch and a great tutorial series that makes me think I might be able to do it myself by following your amazing instructions. I sadly lost my cat on Valentine’s Day this year and really want to make a recreation of his beautiful face and use some of his real fur that I’ve collected. He was a Maine coon so there’s clumps of his hair everywhere. At what stage do you recommend adding his fur? Should I use it for the fluffing stage, or add it early and for creating the tiny markings and patterns? PS, I’ve never needle felted so this could be a complete disaster in the making😅 but your brilliant tutorial series gives me the confidence that I might pull it off. ❤

  • @FittobeLovedFelts
    @FittobeLovedFelts3 ай бұрын

    Yes you can choose whatever size you like. Bigger will need more wool but can be easier when first trying to get the details right. Bigger needs good strength of the wire to support the wool.the smaller you go just watch your fingers as more likely to stab yourself abd wrapping wool over wire can be trickier.. I'd go no smaller than 6 inches on a first project. I've not managed to do my fox video showing the rest of it yet but just look at lots of photos for fur colours and details and I'm sure you'll be fine. 😊
