Woolbuddy Needle Felting 100% Woolen Mat Beige

Really sturdy and easy to use. Does the job well especially when using a cloth over it to minimise wool transfer. Very happy with it

Excellent quality, great size and generally awesome. Much much better than foam mats, it doesn't come apart or lose density. Highly recommended bit of kit for needle felters.

Tolle Qualität ,bleibt gut formstabil nach Gebrauch.Leider ziemlich teuer.

I am a beginning felter and I tend to learn by trial and error rather than viewing online tutorials as I should. I purchased the brush type felting pad, a foam one and the Wool Buddy. I hated the brush type immediately, it seemed wobbly and insecure. The foam type was OK but I didn't like the feel or sound of the needle going in and I knew it couldn't last long. Then I tried the Wool Buddy, XL size. I loved the size, the thickness and the feel of it. It felt secure, it felt steady and no matter how much I punched there were no holes or wear that I could see. My only problem was MY OWN FAULT!. I was making a felted leaf, first time I tried it. Of course, a leaf is a flat piece. I needled away and loved the result. Went to pull up the leaf and it was FIRMLY attached to the Wool Buddy. I ruined one side of the WB pulling and scraping the leaf out of it. I didn't want to give up on the WB because I loved everything else about it. So... I did what I should have, watched a few tutorials and got some good tips and realized I was a felting idiot but one with hope. I started again on the remaining good side of the WB. I cut some squares of tulle netting a little larger than the size of the leaf I wanted to make. I put one piece of tulle on the WB, laid out my wool fibers and put another piece of tulle on top, a felting sandwich of sorts. I started needling but every minute or so, I pulled the leaf all the way off the WB and flipped it over. If the tulle got too many holes, I replaced it. The tulle and the frequent flipping worked like a charm. The leaf pulled away perfectly from both the tulle and the WB leaf. Use the WB right and you will love it! All I have to do now is avoid the ugly side I ruined!

These mats are brilliant. A lot better than foam ones. They last longer easy to clean wool off. They keep there shape.

It’s a great needle felting mat. It is a bit smaller than advertised but I suppose it depends on how it was measured. Also the thickness is not uniformly dense. However I will order another one when this one wears out because it is far superior to the pieces of foam covered with a sheet of felt that are on the market now.
