HI LindyLou! The felt I used is thick wool felt. It's about 1/4-inch thick and 100% wool. I think needle felting would work on a wool blend felt, though. You'd have to give it a try. It's so much fun!

Good luck!

Are these felt squares different than the "regular" ones sold at my local Joann's? I've looked and seen that the store sells a couple of different kinds. One is a thin felt like the kind I remember being fascinated by when I was a young girl. The store now also carries felt made from recycled plastic. A third kind of felt is sold from bolts and that is thicker than the first kind and is either a poly blend or (when I'm very lucky) wool felt. Will needle felting work on each kind of felt?

Thank you for the inspiration. My brain wheels are whirring after reading this.
