This set includes 9 felting needles in three different sizes: - Fine (3 pieces) 40 gauge - Middle (3 pieces) 36 gauge - Coarse (3 pieces) 32 gauge These are your most important tool when needle felting wool. They have tiny barbs that allow the wool fiber scales to tangle and catch each other, causing the wool to felt. The longer you work the wool with the needles, the harder and thicker the felted piece will become. You can felt your wool into any shape or size you desire! Please note that they do break very easily if used incorrectly at too steep of an angle or bend (order extra if children are helping you, you will need them!) Simply punch straight up and down in a pouncing motion to felt your project.Please note these needles are very sharp, and you will be very upset if by accident your finger is in their path. Please handle with care-they are not suitable for small children. Check out our leather finger gloves that protect you especially well when felting small items.
