I gave up on dry felting for many years because I didn’t know this! 😅
When I first tried dry felting, I spent countless hours and put all my effort into the pieces you see in this video. Back then, I decided that dry felting just wasn’t for me. So, I abandoned it for MANY years and ended up with a major inferiority complex. 😔
It turned out, however, that it wasn’t me who was untalented — it was the poor quality of the tools! Let’s be honest, they were terrible!!! 😬 Only years later did I finally come across high-quality felting needles and tried them out. This made all the difference! If it weren’t for that moment, who knows if I would have ever created so many pieces? 🎨
So, when people ask me what needle I use and how much it costs, I can see it in your eyes — “I’ll buy it on Amazon, Temu, or some other cheaper site.” Trust me, you won’t save any money this way, only bring yourself more trouble. 😖
I’ll share the brand and number of the tested felting needle at the end of the video. I’ve stuck with this brand ever since, and all my best works have been created with their needles! 😍 I also want to mention that Japan and England make good tools too. Chinese manufacturers, however, have yet to produce anything remarkable in this regard. 🤷♀️
Where to find them? On Etsy. There are many great sellers there.
And if you're in Oslo, you can get this treasure from me directly! 😉 just let me know in DM.
For those heading to SelfMade shops, I’ve tested the needles there too, and unfortunately, the quality just isn’t the same.

One of the most frequently asked questions is how I manage to make realistic animal hair. There are several ways to do this (save to keep it safe): 👍 Attaching individual pieces of wool. 👍 Work the surface with a reverse needle. 👍 Comb out. 👍 Combination method. A mix of the first option and the second. This is the one I use most often. Did you like the post, was it interesting? Put + in comments, I will know what useful stuff to share with you :) #creativity #process #craetive #art #felting #needfelting #woolart #woolsculpture #needlefelt #needles #feltingwool #art #dogart #dogsculpture #sculpture #doggy #pets #dogart #animals

Dear friends! Let me briefly share what felting is. Felting from wool is a process. That's all, period 🤣 no! Felting is a process in which wool fibers are combined into a single fabric under the influence of heat, moisture, alkali, and mechanical action. There are several types of wool based on production methods, but the most popular are carded wool (or wool batting), roving wool (combed top), fleece, and sliver. And there are 2 methods to felt this wool - dry and wet, but more on that in the next episode 🙂 Have you ever done felting? Do you have any felted items?
The Burrows family story
Meet the Burrows family: travelers with big hearts. This story is based on real events, observations, and personal experience. 😊 Fairy tales always live nearby, so the characters we're going to talk about, although made of wool, literally live in the neighboring field. Today, we'll talk about the most charming and adventurous family of mice, the Burrows. This amazing mouse family is not just toys; they are the embodiment of love, freedom, and adventure.
Michael is the soul of the company, a true shirt-off-his-back guy. His main weapons against all adversities are humor and sharp wit. Missy is a creative soul who loves to draw and create comfort in their amazing house on wheels. She is the heart of the Burrows family, creating quiet happiness. They believe that home is where their hearts are, so they are never afraid to set off on a journey. Their house on wheels has everything needed for their sudden adventures, whether it be a picnic by the river or exploring abandoned granaries.
The Burrows are those guys who don't think too long; they trust their feelings. Their meeting was an instant flash of love during their college years, and they have been inseparable ever since. They quickly got married and became parents to two charming mice – Lily and Mark. It's interesting what they will grow up to be and what stories the heroes of this family hold. Where did the cotton and mimosa on their clothes come from?
To not miss any stories of this adventurous family, follow the posts with the hashtag #LifeOfTheBurrows, and you will learn under what strange circumstances Missy and Michael met, how they built their cozy home on wheels, and what adventures await them ahead. I invite you to dive into their stories, full of warmth, love, adventures, decisions of life's complex tasks, and magic.
Also, soon I will offer you a unique opportunity not only to learn more about each of the heroes but also to create your own little mouse family with the help of online master classes
