Subject: Re: [Nfb-krafters-korner] Felting Tools
I have used felting needles in the past. Going back a few years at NFB convention I think in Dallas while in the exhibit hall Audrey taught felting at our table. I think clover had a great felting tool as it had a gard that came down protecting the needle. This way without sight you could put this up against your finger and when you pushed down to go through whatyou were felting the needle would go through the fiber and basically the gard would retract. It has been a while since I did this, but I believe clover is who made this.
So using felting needles you do neede to be aware and they are sharp, but now I guess a visually impaired person should not thread a needle to sew on a button or go fishing and cut their own meat at dinner time. Heck, maybe sighted people shouldn't use sharp things either!

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-brandtextbin=Wistyria+Editions&node=2617941011>
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
