Hi everybody bear_original  I already introduced myself in the "new members" area and I am so interested in needle felting! bear_original  I bought a kit on Ebay and finished it today...here is what it turned out like...

Ok, now that my kit is all finished, I have no idea what to do...I'm lost lol!!  What do I need to buy?  What kind of wool should I use?  Also, I know there are different sizes of needles.  What are each used for?  Is there anything else I should buy? Any books or tutorials? Sorry for all the questions I just had so much fun doing this that I really want to do more heehee  bear_grin  Any information would be so helpful to me.  Thanks in advance for all your help!  :hug:

Danielle, He is coming up a treat. Personally I dont think he is finished yet. You could still do a bit more needling.
              The answer to your other questions you will find here in the needle felting section.
Alot depends on which part of the world you live . I'm in Australia so I deal directly with FLEECEWOOD who are the wizpic people.
I'll see if I can find a few links for you, to make things easier.
Wendy :thumbsup:
