Needle Felting Tool

Hi Paul and Cristine

I'm writing to congratulate you both on the design and manufacturing of your wonderful Snowy Creek needle felting handle. Since buying two handles from you I have achieved some pleasing results and really enjoyed the ease of manipulating the fires with help of your handle.

I use one handle with 2 to 5 medium gauge needles for flat felting and the other handle with 1 fine gauge needle for detail work. I intend to purchase another two handles to make up a working set of 1 * 1, 1 * 2, 1 *4 and one for a heavy gauge needle set for sculpting and needle felting into heavy fabrics like Denim jeans.

I'll enclose a few photos for you to see some of what we have dome using your handles.

I'm far from being an expert on needle felting however I'm happily promoting the Snowy Creek handles to other people with confidence because they are just so good to use, the handles promote themselves.

Thanking you

Hello Cristine and Paul.

I have been meaning to write to you for some time now to tell you how thrilled I am with your needle felting tools. From a user’s point of view they are really comfortable to use and as you know I spend most of the day in my shop “Hey Cool” in Bright needle felting 3D wall hangings and embellishing hats etc. This always creates interest from customers who ask what I am doing and after an explanation often results in the sale of a tool with needles and some fibre to get them started. From a retailers point of view they are not expensive and are very easy to sell. They also make great gifts to give to felting friends.

Thank you - your needle holders are wonderful, simple to use and they sell very well, what more could you want.

I have used the felting tools developed by Snowy Creek Engineering for some years now and have really appreciated the light weight, comfortable design.

The tools are suited to needle felt a vast array of fibres and perfect for combining wet and dry felting techniques.

I love that I have a choice between a multi need tool which I use for felting larger areas and blending, or the single felting tool which gives me greater control over fine detail...an absolute must when creating my felted art!

Felting machine

My name is Judy Craig and over the last few years I have been working with the first Roller Felting Machine Snowy Creek Engineering has made.

There have been many great times with this machine, it has served my needs most effectively. The one most wonderful thing about the felting machine is that it takes all of the hard work out of the rolling. As any felter knows it takes a lot of time, effort and sometimes strength to do all the rolling by hand. If you have a long heavy piece it takes a lot of effort by hand.

While working with this great machine I have been able to do heavy items and also very light delicate items. The machine has a large range you can work with.

In my works I have used Alpaca, Wool, Mohair, Cashmere, Yarns, Beads, Silk materials and many other fibers and such.

It takes a little time to become acclimatised to the machine for the things you like to do but it is well worth it.

After working with the machine for so long I do know I would not be doing the amount of work I am doing without it. Paul and Cristine have been both easy to work with and very helpful with their support, and I do recommend if you are thinking of doing a lot of felting this machine is the best way to go.

Dear Paul and Christine,

Thankyou for inventing this machine.

My daughter and I have two of your felting machines running all day, six days a week in our studio. The machines have enabled us to compete in the market place with our small business. We chose your machines, not only because they were Australian made, but because they are very user friendly, very safe, very quiet, very ergonomic, quick to load and unload and have proved to be trouble free and very durable.

Most importantly they do what they are designed to do.

From experience we know it can be very difficult to turn raw fibers into consistently good felt. It requires a leap of faith to allow a machine to take over a very delicate part of the process. The rolling machine has managed to do this effortlessly due to its efficient and clever design.

We have appreciated your extremely generous help whenever we have needed it, especially in the early days when we were new to the machine. You are both clearly passionate about your invention and your high standards in production and ongoing improvements have certainly made us happy we chose your product.

Many Thanks
