Works great and no little black foam specks to contend with...

I am very happy I bought this... it works great and no little black foam specks to contend with. Just remember to move your project around frequently while felting (eliminates project piece from being felted to the Woolbuddy) and to clean the wool pad between changing colors of wool. The pad cleans easily with a sweater comb or even better with a sweater stone (from Dritz). I usually will flip the pad over when I change colors and then clean the pad sides when finished. The biggest problem I had was having the pad slip around while felting on it.... spent a few days chasing it across my work surface before I thought to put a piece of no skid shelf liner underneath it and, voila!, problem solved. Would love to have a larger size for larger projects but until then this one is great! It has already paid for itself because in the 2 months I have been using it I would normally have already gone through 2 to 3 foam pads at about $6 dollars a piece.

Like it ALOT!

I'm new to needle felting, the Woolbuddy woolen mat is really a " Save me from STABBING my fingers!" kind of a plus to the whole felting experience. I'm really glad I came across the mat. It really makes the felting easier for me, and less painful.

Excellent Price & Highly recommended but possible to make your own.

FYI beginning felters. If you stack layers of wool fabric, the number of layers depending on thickness of the wool, the layers will act in the same way as this mat. They can be used loose on top of each other or hand stitched together. However if you are looking for a quick fix for a felting mat this is an excellent choice for any project but especially for carry along projects.

Excellent base for detail needle felting work.

I am new to needle felting and started with a basic kit of a couple of needles, finger guards (very necessary), a small amounts of wool in many colors, and a foam needle felting block. I saw recommendations for this item and it is perfect for doing the fine work on my little animals. I use the foam block for large areas of needle felting, but this one is better for detail work.

Woolbuddy is definitely super useful. It's thickness is great enough so it ...

Woolbuddy is definitely super useful. It's thickness is great enough so it doesn't poke me at the other ends. It also doesn't leave any residue, unlike those foam paddings. That's probably the biggest plus. It's also small enough for me to carry but big enough for me not to lose. Overall it's a great product!

Perfect

Perfect for taking with me to craft events, its a nice compact size. I'm so glad my fibers don't get stuck in it and it doesn't get ripped up like the old black foam mats. If you are felting properly and not stabbing down hard and deep into the pad there will be no holes tears or stuck fibers. I tend to use every inch of mine so make sure I am not overly using one section and making it warp in shape or thickness. 100% satisfied with mine, I have a large one I've been using for a while , and i just got this small one to take with me to events so i can work. LOVE Them!

I’m sure that it will last longer than foam and be better for the felting needles also

This woolen mat is so much nicer and more durable than foam, and not at all scratchy to use. I’m sure that it will last longer than foam and be better for the felting needles also. I will just have to make sure that I don’t accidentally leave it where any of our 3 cats can get near it. They really love anything woolen, even my dryer balls. As long as I safeguard this with my wool batting and roving, it shouldn't get shredded by busy claws.

Awesome workspace for needle felting!

This is an awesome pad to needle felt on! It’s made it so much easier! The felt you’re working with can stick to it a bit but you just have to rotate your piece. I would definitely recommend!

Fantastic, Long-Lasting Needle Felting Necessity!

As someone who has been needle felting for a number of years, I was in need of replacing my worn out foam pad for my needle felting projects. I love this needle felting wool pad-perfect portable size for needle felting on the go! Pros: 1. Small but not too small-works for most needle felting projects 2. Portable-no worries of it breaking when stuffing it in a purse or schoolbag 3. Hardy-will stand up to tens of thousands of needle pokes 4. Needles won't catch/rip up the wool mat 5. Needle felting projects catch quickly, allowing for faster needle felting 6. Minimal shedding of fibers on the mat Cons: 1. Small amounts of wool do get caught in the mat as they are both fibrous materials-this is easily remedied by turning your project often and using smaller needle pokes-project fibers can be removed with a short tooth comb or with fingers. 2. Has a tendency to warp slightly when doing a lot of projects-easily remedied by working the mat back and forth occasionally to restore shape.

Comfortable and easy to use!

I know others have complained about this item, but I think it's MORE useful than the plastic mat things. Those don't even last one project, then, into the landfill goes MORE plastic, something that should end. The mat is filled with a heavy compression of felt itself, I believe. The surface does pick up some of the wool you're using, but it's very small, and came out easily. It's a good size. I wouldn't want to use a smaller one, but I'd still use even the smaller one over the plastic ones. And it's a good price! Highly recommended.
