Frequently Asked Questions
What is core wool and how is it used in needle felting?
Core wool is minimally processed, carded sheep fleece designed specifically to form the interior shape of 3D needle felted sculptures. It compacts quickly and firmly, creating a sturdy core over which fine colored wool tops are applied.
What is the difference between core wool and polyfill stuffing?
Unlike synthetic polyester fill, natural core wool fibers cling together naturally under pressure, making it far easier to shape into dense, firm forms with felting needles. It also provides a weightier, higher-quality feel in stuffed toys and handcrafted dolls.
How much core wool do I need for a needle felting project?
For small to medium sculptures (such as small animals or ornaments), a 100g pack provides ample core material for multiple projects. For larger sculpting series, heavy 3D forms, or doll stuffing, the 1kg bulk bag offers maximum value.
Where is your core wool sourced?
Our core wool is ethically sourced from clean Australian and New Zealand wool processors, thoroughly scoured to remove vegetable matter while preserving the natural elasticity and spring of raw sheep fleece.
