Needle felting is a crafting technique that involves using a special barbed needle to interlock fibers, typically made from wool. The process begins with loose wool roving, which is repeatedly poked with the needle. This action causes the fibers to tangle and bond together, forming a solid shape. Artists can create a variety of items through needle felting, including figurines, decorative objects, and even wearable art. The technique is popular for its simplicity and the ability to produce detailed designs without the need for sewing or knitting. It is suitable for both beginners and experienced crafters.
