Star Felting Needles feature four edges, each lined with barbs, making them a fast and efficient choice for general sculpting and blending work. Their multi-edged design accelerates fibre entangling and is ideal for creating sturdy bases or working with bulkier fibres.

Available Gauges & Uses

  • Gauge 36 Star – Coarse; excellent for fast felting with coarse fibres or quickly joining parts
  • Gauge 38 Star – Medium; the all-round favourite—great for mid-stage sculpting and adding general detail

Each Star gauge offers a balance of speed and surface quality. If you're seeking efficiency without sacrificing detail, star needles—with their extra barbs—are a compelling choice for building strong foundations and seamlessly blending layers.

Which gauge should I choose?

Select a gauge below to see its recommended uses.

36 Gauge – Coarse Star

A fast-working needle for building shapes, joining components and firmly compacting wool. Its star-shaped working section provides additional edges and barbs, allowing it to move more fibre with each stroke. Particularly useful during the early and middle stages of a project.

38 Gauge – Fine Star

A versatile needle that combines efficient felting with greater control. Suitable for shaping, adding details and refining the surface of a project. It leaves smaller entry marks than the 36 gauge while still felting quickly.

36 Gauge – Coarse Star

A fast-working needle for building shapes, joining components and firmly compacting wool. Its star-shaped working section provides additional edges and barbs, allowing it to move more fibre with each stroke. Particularly useful during the early and middle stages of a project.

38 Gauge – Fine Star

A versatile needle that combines efficient felting with greater control. Suitable for shaping, adding details and refining the surface of a project. It leaves smaller entry marks than the 36 gauge while still felting quickly.

Star needles have a four-edged working section, giving them more barbed edges than a standard triangular needle. This allows them to felt efficiently while distributing fibre movement around the needle.
