The felting needles are a special kind of needle that have tiny barbs on the end. The barbs are going in one direction and when the needle is stabbed into the wool the barbs pull the wool in, but not back out again causing the wool fibers to tangle and their scales to lock together and felt.

L'aiguille à feutrer est une aiguille spéciale munie de petits harpons. En poussant l'aiguille dans la laine cardée, les fibres sont mélangées mécaniquement. Elles se mêlent de plus en plus, s'accrochent les unes aux autres, la matière se densifie et devient feutre.
