Needle felting is a process that uses barbed needles to interlock wool fibers to form a more condensed material. Wool fibers have scales which when rubbed against each other catch and lock into place to create this denser material called felt. Felting needles are used to entangle the fibers. And, it’s so. much. stinking. fun.
The Donkey is Level 3. Please note, this is NOT a beginner project. You will need some experience to be successful in class.
Minimum age to participate is 12
