The ONE to Have
I have several needle felting books but were I to have only one this would be it. Excellent pictures, great detail, fun projects, and super informative. Best I've seen.

Information and inspiration
Put needle felting equipment in the hands of two experienced designers and this is the result. This book makes the craft accessible even for those who've been hesitant to try it. Choose hand felting for small projects or machine felting for larger canvases; either way, there's something here for you.

needle felting by hand or machine.
This a great book for the non felt artist to give some ideas on how to use a felting needle/machine. how ever, i have been an wet felter for 10 years now and although i am new to needle felt, i still felt ( sorry) that this book was too basic for me. or maybe not as creative as i thought. Lots of great colour photos.
