So i went to out and got some felting needles to help get rid of the cracks in my newly made woolies. At the time i had no idea felting needles came in sizes?! lol.. so i get home and am so excited to felt my cracks (wow sounds awful!!) anyway back to felting my crack.. the needle is what i would call a fine or very small gauge, the lil nicks in the side of the needle are tiny and really don't seam to felt dreads well BUT i made a felt ball sorta.. what is the best size, gauge or however they measure them is best for felting dread cracks!?
& is a multi head tool more effective?
( i tryed twisting the dreads as they came out of the water to help rid them of the crack but i think i am still n the early stages of "perfecting ones technique" due to my newness to the woolie world)
Thanks <3

Re: Felting Needles?
Do the needles have a colour, this is how you tell what they are.
The needle should remove any crack, but it does take a bit of practice... and you will need to hold the wool straight to stop them clumping in to balls... just concentrate on the crack areas, working on about a 2-3inch section, holding the wool taught with your other hand...
Hope this helps!!
