Material List
1 x Clover Pen Style Needle Felting Tool (Optional but will change your life. Get it!)
Individual Fine needles 38 to 40 gauge (Quantity depends on how many you plan to break, 3 of them?)
Approximately 20 grams of wool roving (You can make 10g of this core wool for the center of your horse and 10g a variety of colours for coating your body, or you can go with all core wool or all coloured.)
Corriedale is some of the best roving for needle felting. I also use Merino or Alpaca. (Not all wool roving needle felts well.)
Optional – Curly locks of wool if you want your mane and tail to be curly.
1 x sponge or brush minimum 4 ½”x2 ½”x1 ½” deep ( 11.43cm x 6.35cm x 3.81cm deep)
Learn step by step how to needle felt a little horse of your own approximately 7" tall. Use a wire armature to give your horse stability and the option to pose.
