Woolbuddy Needle Felting Pad – Beige Wool Mat 10x10x1.5 – Foam Alternative Base for 3D, Wet, & Dry Felting Crafts

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!

Wow just awesome, this wool pad is made super well, sturdy but a bit squishy, smells nice like nature! I have sensory issues and it Does not bother my hands when moving around on it. It feels very soft with minimal scratchiness. I love how nice and big it is and the color is pretty! I use a lint scrapper to get rid of excess wool and it works good. Projects do not stick to it and it helps me complete my bases faster!

This pad is bomb. Sturdy, doesnt move when felting, well worth the value. different beautuful colors, very easy to use. Spend a bit more and get what it says it does.

Great product with no concern about punching the needle through the pad. Love the larger size, too!

Quality made and works very well. I’ll have this for a long time. It’s worth the price.

I bought this felting pad to replace my old dried out foam mats. I ordered it in beige yet received what I would say is a medium brownish color although the sticker on the cellophane wrapper said "beige." It could be monitor color issues, but I don't think anyone would call this beige. This is the sole reason for a 4-star review. The mat is soft and allows the felting needle to penetrate more so than my solid felted mat which is good for other applications and this type won't dry out and disintegrate like the foam ones. I read some reviews which complained about work getting stuck (felted) onto the mat. This is caused by improper use and can be prevented by moving the work often so it doesn't felt to the mat. The video in the product description clearly states this and any experienced needle-felter understands this. Time will tell if this holds up well and turns out to be a good value, but so far it seems like it's what I expected and wanted. If the seller could get more consistent on the colors, it would be a 5-star product. Happy felting, all!

I recently started needle felting and this pad has been excellent. The material is durable and far better than the typical white foam sponges. It holds up well and makes the process more enjoyable.

I am just a beginner felter but tired of the plastic pad right away because it broke down so fast. This one is a nice size and holds it’s shape.

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.

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

Sehr schönes und qualitativ tolles Filzkissen. Tolle Größe

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.
