I have been asked this questions many times over the years and understandably so. If you have never needle felted before or have just begun, how do you know how much wool you will need for a project? I have taken some pictures with information on the weight of wool needed to make a certain needle felting project that I hope will be a good guide for you to follow.

Wool will shrink down to about half of it&#;s size when needle felted, a good thing to understand when you are out shopping for wool. This is a good place to start, but I hope to offer more guidance with the pictures below.

Each of the sculptures in the pictures are solid Romney wool. Next to each of the sculptures is the amount of wool I used to make the sculpture. This is a good visual guide to understand how much it shrinks down when felted. Below each picture I include the weight of wool and the size dimensions of the sculpture.
Wool felt is one of the most versatile and beautiful fabrics to create with, a blend of 20-35% merino wool with the the remainder viscose make it resistant to pilling and pulling, easy to cut, affordable -all working together to provide maximum craft-ability.
