Hello:
I'm new to needle felting. I would like to needle felt an Anime-Style, Fuzzy Bear with a body texture that is similar to mohair. I have seen bears on-line that were crocheted and then brushed to make them fuzzy-looking.
Is it possible to do this to a needle-felted bear?
Thanks, Darlene
Yes, you can brush the needle felting out and then trim. I use a metal finger brush. Have to be careful not to pull too much up. I root mohair into the bears needle felted faces. I unravel it from the fabric and root it in with a needle. That is pretty major work though especially on a whole animal.

Thank you for your response. I will try the brush.
