[Nfb-krafters-korner] Felting Tools

[Zimmer, Cindy]

They are used to punch the felt into the fabric.  They have sharp barbs on the shaft of the needle similar to  barbed wire or thorns on a rose.

What do you do with felting needles?  Is it like knitting?

The company obviously has not been exposed to krafters such as on this list.
I am sure they'd be intrigued by you all.

*        I was doing some research on Amazon.com to purchase some Felting
tools and other supplies.  I came across this set of Felting tools and was surprised by the message printed on the side of the product.

Wistyria Editions Felting Needles Assorted Points 4pc 36 38 40 Triangle 38 Star 4pc by Wistyria Editions<http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_arts-crafts?ie=UTF8&field-brandte

Right on the package it said:  Caution:  needles are very sharp and should not be used by children or anyone with a visual handicap.  I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.

Would someone have time to visit with Wistyria Editions?

I'm not sure I will be purchasing this set, but I do not think they should have this "warning" on their package regarding visual handicap.


Thanks,
Cindy
