32 Gauge Reverse Needles Pk 10

A special triangular needle. This gauge of reverse is good for the heavier wools such as British or Scandanavian types.

Standard felting needles have tiny barbs along the length of the shaft, capturing fibres and pulling them in to carry out the felting process. The reverse needles work in just the same way, except the barbs are facing the opposite direction. This means that the fibres are pulled outwards. The results are the same, but leaves a slightly fuzzy layer on the outside of the piece. This is a wonderfull effect on its own, but it can also be useful if you intend to finish the piece by wet felting the outside.

Safety
These needles, like all sharp tools, need treating with care. They are not suitable for use by children without close supervision. All our needles are packed in robust slide lock boxes. Please keep them in these boxes when not in use.
