Felt Alive Core Wool Batting

the ORIGINAL ‘Core Wool’ for needle felting

$19.95 per 8 oz batt

Felt Alive’s Core Wool Batting for Needle Felting is natural off-white wool from mixed-breed sheep; a medium-short, crimpy fiber that is processed into thick, fluffy sheets (think of quilt batting.) It so much easier to handle than long, slick fiber you’ll find in more commonly available wool products like Merino Roving.

What is Core Wool?  Basically, it’s any natural colored wool you want to use for the core parts of your needle felted creations instead of using more expensive dyed wool.  When I first started needle felting there wasn’t any type of wool product called ‘core wool’.  After trying many types of wool to use for the core of my creations, I stumbled upon the most amazing wool batting.  It wasn’t the prettiest shade of off-white and it had a little bit of straw mixed in but OH was it easy, fast and fun to use!  I was thrilled and started calling it ‘Core Wool’ in my video tutorials.  I guess the name caught on because any search for core wool will bring up all kinds of different natural (non-dyed) wool.

This is THE ORIGINAL Felt Alive ‘Core Wool’ batting that I’ve been using since 2007.  It’s the perfect wool to use for needle felting the core parts of your creations while saving your dyed wool for the outer layers.  I use this batting to needle felt the core body parts in all of my Felt Alive dolls. It felts faster than any wool I have ever used and is so easy to form into shapes. You’ll see me using core wool in nearly all Felt Alive Needle Felting Tutorials.  Watch for FREE HERE

Felt Alive Core Wool batting is not only great for needle felting; use for crafting, dryer balls, quilt batting, photo props and it is wonderful for wet felting. And remember – you don’t have to save it for the core of your projects – I love using it for needle felting sheep, animals and other creations that don’t require me to to cover it completely with dyed wool.
