10 x 40 gauge
twisted felting needle, 2 barbs each edge. Length is 3 inches.
The working
area of the needle has been twisted to spread the barbs around the needle
this is to create a smoother piece of felt and felt very fast. Packed in a
protective reusable tube. These needles
have been designed to reduce breakage. The 40G needle are one of the
main needles used in needle felting for shaping, smoothing and defining your piece. The needles
are suitable for use with the clover handle, wooden handles or
without a handle.
Felting needles are barbed needles and measured in gauges (g) the
larger the gauge number the thinner the needle and the smaller the barbs.
the barbs on the triangular needle are randomly spaced over the lower
shaft of the needle, the more barbs and the thicker the needle the more
wool the needle pulls in when stabbing with it.
For use when needle
felting, buy from a trusted seller, fully refundable if returned. A
mindful and relaxing craft.
*Care needs to be taken when using these needles as they are
sharp, children under 16 should be supervised when using them. Felting
needles are brittle, and are therefore easily broken. To reduce breakages,
use the needle in a straight in, straight out motion. The needle is best
not bent, wiggled or put under a lot of pressure. As a general rule if the
needle will not enter a surface with ease do not force it.
