I was at the my state's art teacher conference and I had a chance to try felting with a needle. I loved it so much. I bought set of needles and wool.

There are two ways to felt. One way is wet felting. I don't know how to do that because the class was sold out.

The other way needle felting is when you take roving, wool that has been washed and or dyed, and use the small barbs of the felting needle shaft to catch and lock the fibers together when the needle is stabbed in. You go at it in a straight up and down motion. There is a felting board made out of some kind of foam that you put underneath the item you want to felt. It can be done on felted canvas or batting, anything that's knitted, denim, pillows, and roving itself.
