Does anyone do needle felting? I amlearning how and have broken 2 needles. I need to slow down I think..LOL.. anyways I am looking for a place to puchase more JOAnns and Michaels do not carry them..
Hmmm...the JoAnn and Hobby Lobby here have them. Otherwise I have had to buy online. You can usually get a few for pretty cheap on ebay. I love felting!

I love to needle felt. I'm working on a Teddy Bear right now. If you have an A.C. Moore around you, I know they have them. If not, farmgirl sister Grace Gerber can get you some. She is a sweet heart, has great service and all of her things are top quality. hugs

The west coast Joann and Michaels stores don't carry much in the way of needle felting supplies. I discovered the medium while visiting a yarn shop in Kansas and had to hunt to find supplies when I got home. I've had very good luck with www.colonialcrafts.com

Oh thank you so much Marcy for that kind recommendation - Your right I do sell Felting Needles of all gauges - all you need to do is go to my Etsy shop and there is a listing and I will make you a special listing of any size or number you need.
I love needle felting and might suggest that your padding is not thick enough can be a reason for needles breaking quickly. Let me know how I can assist you in the fun art of felting. Blessings and Be Well

Thanks Marilyn - the welcome mat is always out. Also, I have tons more items at my farm store that I do not post on Etsy or Artfire so if you are looking for something just ask and who knows it might be sitting here at the farm just waiting for some talented hands.
Blessings and Keep those hands busy with what you love.
