[@sugarcolorhorror]

i really appreciate that you filmed in real time!! ive been considering needlefelting for a while but so many tutorials are sped up that i had no idea how fast or how hard i should felt! thank you so much !!!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

No problem, glad you like it, I may do some more real time as it is quite popular x

[@DressYourHorse]

Your video for first-time felters is reassuring and delightful to watch. Your presentation is thorough and calm. Super excellent!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thank you so much, wasn't sure realtime was wanted but people have really enjoyed it, thanks for watching and making such a lovely comment x

[@kelseybackus9915]

Yes, that what have been excellent! X

[@TeshTimeless]

I have no idea how I found this channel but I'm falling in love with how simple needle felting looks and sounds. I have so many ideas. Thank you for posting these tutorials.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

No problem, it's such a lovely craft, definitely recommend giving it a go x

[@EnlightenedFlamingo]

Thank you for this! I'd watched another video of someone giving "tips" to beginners & they said you can use cookie cutters, but didn't show or say how. THIS is how it's done! Appreciate you!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thank you so much, cookie cutters are great for starting x

[@debbierichins6722]

So glad I found you...yay!!!!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thanks so much! X

[@razliubit7284]

im so grateful i found your channel! i tried watching a lot of beginners tutorials and none of them explained everything as thoroughly as you did. im so excited to dive into this new hobby, you've really helped me stay motivated as someone who is just starting out and is feeling a bit confused!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Yes, it can seem a bit confusing but decent needles (38g triangular copes well with most things) and carded wool helps keep it simple, glad you like the channel and keep practicing xx

[@ILoveMyLittleBoyDog]

I'm so happy to have discovered your channel. I adore the endless possibilities that needle felting gives us but as a beginner, it's quite a lot to learn and the terms (wet felting, core wool, cardi wool for example). I'm pretty sure that watching your videos will help me and hopefully boost my confidence too. I am absolutely desperate to make toadstools and ladybugs to start off with and am so excited about receiving my first felting kit. I bought some additional needles and wool too (Hobbycraft). I do wish I'd watched some of your videos before i went ahead and ordered them but they weren't expensive and will hopefully help me get a feel for felting.Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wealth of experience with us, I wouldn't dare try otherwise. 💕

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Good luck with trying this lovely new craft, the needles might not be the best so do try Heidifeathers for some if you struggle at all and carded wool is definitely much easier and faster to felt, thanks for watching ❣️

[@diakitty4652]

Thank you for the video :D may I ask when it is a proper start to roll it up vs bunch it up?? Is bunching it up just for stencils and cookie cutters???

[@pyjamanana6918]

Hi Philippa! I'm absolutely loving your detailed, thoughtfully presented videos, and I can't wait to buy myself a kit (I was so pleased to see you'd already recommended the one I've been eyeing off!) 😍 I was just wondering how you get a smooth finish, less in terms of fluffiness as you've addressed in other videos, but more in terms of the underside of something like these hearts where the folds from the initial felting and all the needle marks are, or where you might join something on? Thanks 😊

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Hi, thank you, glad you enjoy my videos. If you are joining something, say a leg, leave the top part of the leg fluffy. Spread the wool out and join it. Then take a really thin layer of wool, spread it out and cover it over the join marks. The wool should be carded not tops, it's much easier to cover join marks with. I think I show using thin layers in my pigs video attaching the legs xx

[@donovd3624]

Thank you for your thorough videos. I’ve started with a few simple projects. I don’t seem to get a smooth surface - I have fuzzy fibers showing. Any ideas? Am I not needling enough? Thanks again for your wonderful videos. I purchased the supplies from Amazon based on your recommendations.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

It can depend on your wool and needles, check out my getting technical playlist, there's videos on there for smooth finishes. A carded Corriedale wool and a 40 triangle need should get a smooth finish with time but start with a 36 or 38 needle in the beginning. Once felted together move to a finer needle xx

[@carmingolden1815]

I am new to this.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

I've lots of videos that will help x

[@doriscavey1995]

can you turn leftover skeins of yarn into roving wool for felting

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Yes you can, it takes time, you need carding brushes (or a dog grooming paddle) and it's not perfect but people do do it x

[@saandavies13]

Hi Philippa Brand new to your channel and to felting 🐏 I want to make a memorial heart from the undercoat of my GSD. Could I felt fur on top of a woollen heart core? I'm going to practice first but I wondered if this is something that might work as I only have the fur from the last time I groomed her. Thank you so much for your help and wisdom, you're an inspiration ❤❤❤

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Hi there, thanks so much for watching the channel and for your comment. Yes, you can definitely felt dog hair, I haven't done it but lots of people do. The undercoat, as you mention, is definitely better. If it doesn't felt to the wool base then maybe mix it with another similar colour. I'm afraid it's a bit or trial and error but sheep, goats and alpaca wools all felt together fine so it should work, best of luck xx

[@Babyboffa2018]

What is the best starter kit to get please? I would need everything; wool, needles, finger guards, mat etc. Thank you! 🙂

Definitely good to use especially for heart shapes x

[@giulianabarciocco]

Hi Phillipa! Can you tell me which brand are your finger guards? I'm looking for ones that resist the use of a felting machine. I need to feel protected lol. Thanks in advance.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Hi, sorry they aren't branded, I probably got them in a beginner kit a while ago. I'm not sure if any finger guards are felting machine safe, maybe a metal type? I felt safe wearing them with my felting machine but still not 100% sure they would hold up if the needle got close xx

[@giulianabarciocco]

@@feltsbyphilippa I understand, thank you! x

[@shytiger480]

I’m a beginner but I didn’t get colour code needles with mine just plain ones how can I tell the sizes plz

[@feltsbyphilippa]

I'm afraid it's difficult to tell, they are probably triangular and about 38g, have a look at my needles video for close ups to try and compare them x

[@alanbeddoes1575]

I wanted the metal frame for the pug The sizes and I have to do it slow down version

[@feltsbyphilippa]

I'm sorry, I've sold him so can't measure his size but he was about 5 inches along the back and the legs were 4 inches high. I don't do slowed down version but you can pause it as you go maybe, thanks so much 😀

[@OpenWorldGirlMR]

I’ve been felting one little ball for well over an hour and it’s still pretty squishy. My eyes are burning...Lol beginner problems.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Might be the wool, look at my wool video to see what you have, shouldn't take so long, or the needle is too fine, hope you don't give up x
