We use only the best — Groz Beckert felting needles

I just couldn’t accept that such a fun and amazing craft only had such dismal tools. I was in love with this wonderful craft and I wanted tools that felt fun!

The comfort grip is a felter’s dream!
“I have loved these felting needles! The color codes are so practical! Fast delivery!”

“I really enjoy needle felting with these needles. They have very comfy rubber end and seems don’t break so often. Very recommended!”
“I absolutely love these needles! Will not use anything else. The comfort and ease they provide while crafting is such a blessing. Thank you for creating such an amazing product!!!”
“I am so happy with the needles from your sight that I recently ordered more. So much more comfortable to hold and work with. Thank you.”
“Cannot say enough about this “workhorse” needle (as Kay calls it!). Always have several on hand. And LOVE the new 4 prong needle!”
About me
I’m Kay Petal.
I designed these amazing felting tools because I love to needle felt. I stumbled into needle felting way back in 2007. All it took was one look and I was hooked. I’ve been poking wool and teaching others how ever since.
