E-FELTED

MUSHROOM

WORKSHOP

MATERIALS

Needle Felting

​

• 12-inch (30cm) x 4 colors of wool roving or sliver 

​

We are using 100% pure New Zealand Corriedale wool sliver.

Merino wool top is too fine for this project. 

​

🌿💡 EcoMaker tip: source local sustainably produced non-mulesed wool.

Dye your own wool and felted objects using eco-friendly natural dye processes. 

​

Electronics

​

• 1 x LED sequin

• uncoated silver or copper wire (length: 50cm, gauge:0.2mm or 30SP)

​

🌿💡 EcoMaker tip: use copper wire stripped from an old audio cable. 

​

• 3V battery: coin, AA, AAA, or Lipo (rechargeable is ideal) with matching battery holder, with or without a switch

• Alligator clips to connect wires to battery (optional)

TOOLS

• Felting foam or mat

​

🌿💡 EcoMaker tip: use 100% wool felted mats or plant-based (corn or soy) foams.

​

• 38 star or triangle felting needle 

​

Both needles work well for bulk sculpting work and finer detail. *EcoMaker tip: extend the life of your needles by preventing needle breakage. Poke gently into the mat, just touch the surface, don’t punch deeply into the foam/mat. 

​

• Single needle holder (optional)

​

🌿💡 EcoMaker tip: use holders made from biodegradable and sustainably harvested materials such as wood. 

​

• Finger cots/protectors (optional)

​

🌿💡 EcoMaker tip: make your own finger cots by upcycling old rubber or leather gloves.

• Sewing needle

• Scissors
