So you have spent hours making your fabulous needle felted sheep, only to realise you don’t have any curls to finish it. Grrrr! Not to worry, just grab a ball of wool, yarn or similar and make your own. It’s really easy and creates a whole new look for your needle felted animals; Scroll down for video tutorial.
It is also very calming and saves you sitting by the post box like this, impatiently waiting for your curly wool to arrive.
VIDEO TUTORIAL
Here is a quick video (part 2) showing you how easy it is. I have used a coarse rug yarn but any yarn with an element of wool in it will do.
Use any yarn you have in your craft box; It is easier to apply if it has some wool content. I have used a coarse rug yarn and a really soft Merino for these two gorgeous sheep.
You will also find out how to add this lush, art yarn (video part 1) to your projects. I used a 40 triangle needle as it is a little easier but a standard (usually a 36 or 38 gauge) will do just fine.
Sheep needle felting kits using this fabulous art yarn are available on the Lincolnshire Fenn Crafts website
Happy creating. Sandy x
I would like to purchase a few things but I don’t know the price between the pound and the dollar. Would you please give me an idea on how to figure it. I need to know how much I am spending. Thank you. Pat
Hi Pat. At the bottom of each page of the website you will find a currency converter. Hope this helps.
Thanks

I will be sharing this in my favorite updates later this week, still need to write the post. Love your little critters you make.
These are so adorable. I still haven’t finished my attempt at sheep. I will have to get to that and maybe share it with everyone along with a link back to your adorable sheep. You are so good at this.
What a great idea! Never thought of using yarn 💡🐑🧶.
Thank-you for sharing the curls!!! I really enjoyed it!!
Glad to hear it Terri 🙂
Wow, that’s just brilliant! I’m going to have to remember that trick.
