Lovely soft core wool for felting.

The is wool roving is so nice. I appreciate that it’s naturally colored and not dyed. It doesn’t have any strange chemical smells or odors. It’s plenty soft.*** My only complaint is Amazon is so goofy. The wool comes on this handy nice storage box, but Amazon packed the order in a bubble wrap envelope. Of course, the box got completely crushed. I hope the seller can place a complaint to Amazon itself in regards to this very poor packaging.

I ordered this for the first time to make luminaries by wet felting and it has worked wonderfully. It felt quickly and it gives me the strength I need to hold it up but light enough to be a luminary

I'm new to needle felting and was so pleased that I bought this. It's soft, perfectly clean and amazing for needle felting. Works well as core or tops wool. Great value and a pleasure to work with. I might try dying it next!

This product is really easy to work with. It is soft and very nice of white color. It can be used as a base of all alone. 8 oz is a lot. I make many small creations with this much. I have purchased this product at least 3 times . Love it !!

I'm very pleased with the amount for the reasonable price. It's extremely smooth, and so even. I'm really surprised that they call this "core wool" though--to me it's far too silky smooth and sleek to be considered that!It felts up nicely though; I knotted a length a few times and felted using a 2-needle holder (using size 38s, for reference), and it didn't take long at all to get a nice roundness, and I was very pleased with the density I achieved in what I'd characterize as a normal amount of time. For being so soft, it has a reeeally good "tooth," which I guess is a hallmark of Corriedale? I'm a fan now!So, just be aware that this is a lot nicer than "just" carded core wool--I feel it's nice enough to use as the outside too. Also, it arrived the next day, which is ~amazing~!!

I've been using Corriedale 8 oz cream for the core of my animal. I have found it takes a lot of work to get the shape you want, but it is relatively cheap wool for the amount they give you and does work great as the core of your animal. It just takes longer to get a firm core. What's nice about it, this cream/white can also be used for white places on your animal. No need to add white. Just use the exposed core.For felting needles, I recommend an assortment package that includes a long and a short needle. The long is usually a 36 (your main felting needle) that has a triangle shaped tip. The short is a 38. For a better needle, I recommend buying the star tipped needles from Bear Creek. This tip is easier for piercing felted wool, so I get size 38 for detailing.There is plenty of wool in the 8 oz for making many small animals of one large animal. I keep mainly to the 6 inch max and have made 3 birds and one fox so far and there is plenty still left of the wool.As a beginner in felting, I am creating realistic animals. I have found that the eyes are the most important part of the animal, once you have the core made. Don't bother with a set of amber eyes. The pupil is way too small to be realistic for animals, but they are great for whimsical pieces. Spend the money and get good eyes. If you buy safety eyes, the backs will be too thick for your small animals. I cut the backs off and glue the half fronts to the felted piece. As to eye size, 4, 5, and 6 are the perfect sizes for your small creations.

Beautiful clean soft wool! I used this for macrame weaving so can’t say anything about how it needle felts, but for my purpose, it was perfect. There’s a lot fit into one box too!
