It is specially felted by machine using heat\nand moisture for the perfect density for use in precision needle felting. This\nprocess results in a consistent, workable surface area, and aids in the\nprevention of over insertion of the needle into the pad during felting. When\nsofter surfaces are used, the needle carries the fibers deep into the pad,\nfastening the project to the work surface. The densely felted fibers of this\npad helps prevent this. Natural wool is the best surface for needle felting.\nPad is made of pure sheep wool, and is 1\" thick. It is recommended to\noccasionally lift your project, as some fibers may still be carried into the\ntop surface of the pad. The wool is washed before felting, but may still\ncontain vegetable matter than cannot be removed during processing of the wool.\nThis pad is quite firm and is best for precision or detail work. Read more\nBenefits of a Firm Felting Pad Most pads on the market are soft and mushy,\nwhich results in projects becoming stuck to the pad, and creates difficulty in\nfelting a flat, smooth surface. This is because the needle encounters no\nresistance on these other pads as it goes through the back of your project,\ncarrying the fibers deeply into the pad where they remain. The barbs of\nfelting needles are designed to carry the wool in one direction only. So when\nthe needle travels beyond your project, it carries the wool with it, and your\nproject becomes more and more fastened to the pad with each jab of the needle.\nThis is common with soft mushy pads made of foam or lightly felted wool, as\ntheir softness allows the needle to go in too deeply. The Desert Breeze\nfelting pad is made of firmly felted wool. When the needle is jabbed through\nyour project, the resistance in the pad prevents over-felting, resulting in\ncleaner, smoother surfaces on the back side of your project. This is\nespecially helpful when felting feathers, ears, or any smooth flat project or\nparts thereof. TIPS FOR SUCCESS: Gently press the needle through your project\nand stop when you feel the needle touch the pad. Please note: Working with\nthis pad will feel different than most other needle felting pads on the\nmarket. The density of this pad is what helps prevent the needle from carrying\nthe wool too deeply into the pad. The felted wool surface of this pad allows\nthe tip of the needle to enter, but slows the needle down as the barbs reach\nthe surface of the pad.A light touch is all that is needed for a smooth,\ntight, precision felted finish. The ultimate pad for beautiful, precision\nneedle felting.
