Triangular felting needles are the most versatile and widely used needles for needle felting. Their three-sided design features evenly spaced barbs that efficiently catch and tangle fibres, making them ideal for shaping, sculpting and adding detail to a wide variety of needle felted projects.

Suitable for both beginners and experienced makers, these high-quality needles can be used on wool and other animal fibres to create everything from simple flat designs to detailed three-dimensional sculptures. Available in a range of gauges, you can choose the needle best suited to your project and the level of detail required.

Features

Profile: Classic triangular needle with three barbed edges
Material: High-quality hardened steel
Performance: Excellent fibre control for shaping and sculpting
Compatibility: Suitable for use with all standard needle felting handles and tools

Ideal For: Needle felting, 2D and 3D projects, sculpting, detailing, embellishment and general fibre art

Supplied in robust slide-lock boxes, clearly labelled to protect both you and the needles.

Which gauge should I choose?

Select a gauge below to see its recommended uses.

19 Gauge – Extra Coarse

For very coarse, strong fibres such as flax. Moves a large amount of fibre with each stroke, making it suitable for rapid initial bonding and structural work. Not recommended for fine wool, detailed work or surface finishing.

36 Gauge – General Purpose

A versatile all-round needle suitable for most wool needle felting. Ideal for building shapes, joining components and general sculpting. A finer needle can be used afterwards for detailed finishing.

40 Gauge – Fine

For controlled shaping, detailing and surface refinement. Moves less fibre than a 36 gauge needle and leaves smaller entry marks. Particularly suitable for fine wool and the later stages of a project.

43 Gauge – Very Fine

Designed for delicate details, fine outlines and careful surface finishing. Best used with fine fibres or on material that has already been firmly felted.

46 Gauge – Ultra-Fine

For extremely precise details and final surface smoothing. Leaves very small entry marks and moves only a small amount of fibre with each stroke. Best suited to fine fibres and densely felted work.

19 Gauge – Extra Coarse

For very coarse, strong fibres such as flax. Moves a large amount of fibre with each stroke, making it suitable for rapid initial bonding and structural work. Not recommended for fine wool, detailed work or surface finishing.

36 Gauge – General Purpose

A versatile all-round needle suitable for most wool needle felting. Ideal for building shapes, joining components and general sculpting. A finer needle can be used afterwards for detailed finishing.

40 Gauge – Fine

For controlled shaping, detailing and surface refinement. Moves less fibre than a 36 gauge needle and leaves smaller entry marks. Particularly suitable for fine wool and the later stages of a project.

43 Gauge – Very Fine

Designed for delicate details, fine outlines and careful surface finishing. Best used with fine fibres or on material that has already been firmly felted.

46 Gauge – Ultra-Fine

For extremely precise details and final surface smoothing. Leaves very small entry marks and moves only a small amount of fibre with each stroke. Best suited to fine fibres and densely felted work.

A higher gauge number indicates a finer needle. Coarse needles move more fibre and felt quickly, while finer needles provide greater precision and a smoother finish.
