Size Guide (from thickest to finest)

Spiral 38 / Spiral 40 / Spiral 42
The larger the number, the finer the needle.

Types of Needles

■ Twisted Star 38 (Bright Pink)

A powerful needle with barbs concentrated near the tip.
It creates slightly stronger resistance when stabbing, but allows fibers to compact quickly in a short time.

Ideal for efficiently building a firm base or when you want to tightly compact wool.
Compared to Spiral 38, it offers faster results.

👉 Role: Strong base building (power type)

■ Spiral 38 (Purple)

A slightly thicker spiral needle.

Firmly catches and compacts wool fibers, making it suitable for building the base and forming the overall shape.

👉 Role: Base / foundation building

■ Spiral 40 (Light Blue)

A finer needle than Spiral 38.
Suitable for shaping details such as the face and paws, joining parts, and preparing areas for fur application.
A versatile needle that can be used across a wide range of felting stages.

👉 Role: All-purpose (balanced use)

■ Spiral 42 (Dark Brown)

The finest needle in the spiral series.
Suitable for delicate shaping and final adjustments.
Similar to a finishing needle, but with slightly more tightening power.

👉 Role: Finishing (with light tightening)

■ Clover Felting Puncher Replacement Needle (Thick Type)

A thicker needle that firmly binds wool fibers together.
Ideal for quickly building and solidifying the base.

👉 Role: Efficient base building

■ Clover Felting Puncher Replacement Needle (Regular Type)

Used for shaping details and making adjustments before finishing.
Suitable for smoothing the surface and refining the form.

👉 Role: Shaping and fine adjustments

■ Clover Felting Puncher Replacement Needle (Finishing Type)

A needle designed for smoothing the surface and final finishing work.

👉 Role: Surface finishing

■ Reverse 40

A special needle with barbs facing the opposite direction.
Instead of pushing fibers inward, it pulls fibers outward to create a soft, fuzzy texture.
Suitable for creating fur texture, adding fine hair details,
and blending the boundary between implanted fibers and felted areas.

👉 Role: Fur texture and surface effects
