38 Gauge Twisted Triangle Needles Pk 10

These are a triangular blade with a twist or spiral. Some needle felters like these as they find that they go into the fibre easier and in some fibres leave a much smaller hole. Plus they may be less likely to break if not used in a perpendicular action.

These needles allow the pre-felting process to take place without the need for soap and water, as well as being used to create 3D forms. To do this they have a series of barbs along the working edge that grab the fibres and move them around. They are produced in different thickness gauges; the larger the needle gauge the finer the needle. 

Whilst all of the needles will tolerate a small amount of bending, too much and they will break.  As such a straight in and-and-out action will ensure a long life for the needle. A well used needle will wear out the barbs before it breaks.

All of the needles are high quality European manufacture.

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.
