This colorfully illustrated guide shows just how easy it can be to get eye-catching results on
everything from wonderful wearables to whimsical home accessories. A thorough basics section
explores the variety of fibers, yarns, and threads employed in needle felting, and the foundation
materials that work best. Find out how to do both single and multi-needle felting, as well as
felting with a machine and shaping three-dimensional forms. Thirty unique projects include a
