This unique action creates a soft, fuzzy finish, making them ideal for adding texture, blending colours and creating realistic fur or hair effects on needle felted projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypically used once the main shape has been firmly felted, reverse needles allow you to raise fibres from within the piece without adding additional wool. They are a valuable tool for creating lifelike animals, textured surfaces and decorative
