When I was making a bear and trimming the fur out of the seams so now I have a big ball of fur. Would it be possible to felt? I haven't needle felted before.
Hi $am,
I just finished needlefelting mohair clippings onto a small panda's snout and eye-patches.
Since the pile was only about 3/4 inch long, it took ages to grab and hold together--but finally did! This was my first experience, so I'm no authority.
Does anyone have tips about needlefelting short fibers?

My pile is also about 3/4 inches long but it is curly so it might be easier to hold it together.
Yes--that makes sense. Mine was very straight!

I have never tried felting actual moahir clippings myself. I'd love to see you pictures Eileen and $am.
