Features

• The bristle length provides the ideal hardness and density for punching. (The needles should not touch the base.)

Available in two sizes

• Small 3.5″ x 2.5″ (Art. No 8910)
• Large 3.5″ x 5.5″ (Art. No 8911)

Cautions

• Stay in the center of the mat as much as possible. Avoid inserting the Needle Felting Tool beyond the edges of the mat. Breakage or injury could result.
• Use Needle Felting Claw & Mat Cleaner (Art. No 8919) to remove stray lint and threads from the brush portion of the mat to keep your work area clean. (Do not use the Needle Felting Tool needle(s) to remove stray lint and threads. The needles can break and cause injury)
• Do not use the Needle Felting Mat for any application other than fancywork requiring a punching mat.
