Woolbuddy Needle Felting 100% Woolen Mat Beige

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

The best felting mat that I have. Well worth the money. Needles go through it easily.

Really like this, nice and firm and I can sit with it on a tray on my lap. I do use a scrap piece of cotton fabric on the top so I can easily pull it up and remove any wool fibres that have gone into the mat.

This arrived today and I've immediately started using it. So far it's great. Much better than the foam mats. Easier to felt on, less resistance, noise and just over all much nicer.

Absolutely LOVE this mat. If you are into needle felting you must ditch those awful foam blocks that seem to come with all the kits etc and buy a wool buddy. The difference you feel in felting is amazing, I hate the horrible ‘bounce’ you get on foam mats. There’s no bounce with a wool buddy and the needle seems to penetrate your work better. I only have one of these and clean up the leftover wool with a marigold washing up glove, quick wipe over and it’s good as new. Sometimes my wool buddy getting dents and creases in it from where I’ve concentrated my work, just give it a clean with a marigold and steam iron it... sorted! People have complained that they felt their project to the mat, I’d recommend just lighten your touch a bit and that shouldn’t be an issue. I only use my wool buddy and would never change that. I think they will last years too

Well worth the investment. I needlefelt a lot and I hate the foam pads. They don't last long and doesn't feel right to keep using and throwing away. This is nice to needlefelt on and it's fairly easy to maintain. You do need to sit and scrape/pull oot the fibres left on the mat now and then but that's fine. I have used this for a few months now and I think id have used and thrown away at least a dozen foam mats. This wool mat is long lasting and has plenty of life in it yet. Very happy

I was concerned that this mat might "hang on" to my felting too much and get full of tufts of all the colours I was using. But it doesn't! Yes, you have to gently lever your work off, as you do with any other felting surface - but this one is the best I have used. My rice-filled hessian bag seemed better than the foam, when I first got it, but this is now by far my most favourite felting surface. Very comfortable to use and the perfect size. The first thing I made on it was this Guinea pig!

I'm sure that this is a lovely product, but Evri don't seem to be able to deliver to me!

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.

Excellent pour feutrer et c’est tellement facile de retirer la forme

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!

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
