Pattern

Pattern

It is important to check the size of each part against the pattern. We have provided the pattern in PDF format. Please download and print out to use.
When printing, make sure to check scale and edge guide so that you get the actual size for the pattern.

Introduction

Check the finished firmness

As you poke the needle into the wool, it becomes more and more firm. You may wonder how firm you need to make the wool.
The firmness of the 1.8cm ball made from 1g of wool as shown in the felt ball how-to guide in the Basic Needle Felting Lesson is the standard firmness for making the E-Vino.
If the felt is not firm enough, it will be off-kilter when assembling or the finished item will fall apart so it is important to work the felt to make it firm.

Check the finished firmness
