FCENDS Needle Felting Mat, 100% Natural Wool Needled Felting Pad, 6x6x1 inch Eco-Friendly Felting Block, Thick and Firm (6"x6")

I LOVE this felting mat!!!!! I had a foam one and it got used up so quickly, that I was stabbing myself repeatedly. I hated it. I don't have that issue now that I got this felting mat. It is so thick, so durable, so sturdy. It really takes a poking and doesn't stop! It is perfect. if you felt, buy this. seriously. do it.

It's the perfect size for my wool felting projects.

Works well

great travel size.. thick, easy to clean.

You can keep it in your lap….very sturdy and thick…protects you as you do your needle felting!

I had the black foam board to use for felting on, but after a while of doll making I upgrade to this board. SO MUCH NICER!!!!!!!!! Really happy with this and will buy again if this one wears out. Excellent quality, and it doesn't cause the wool to stick as much to the board as the black foam does - always annoying to have to pull fibers out of the black foam !

I got a brush mat at the same time I got this one and I prefer the brush mat, but I didn't want to remove a star, since that is comparing different products. I actually end up putting the brush mat on this mat to add protection to my work space, which I like. There are more expensive mats, and this is the only mat I've ever used, so maybe other felt mats are better, but I'm not sure how that would be. The reason I prefer the brush is that for felting 2-D pictures the needle runs into so much resistance hitting the felt mat, so rapid stabbing is harder and needle breaking easier. But maybe I'm doing it all wrong! I'm fairly new to felting. Long story short, this was a large size mat for a good price and seems like a solid product.

Solid thick base for needle felting that provides a good foundation without being heavy or flexible.

But it’s rather hard, takes some getting used to.

I got one of these before on Amazon, but it smelled like poop. I was hoping the smell would go away after a while, however, it simply didn't. I ended up having to chuck it. This one, however, I can tell that the wool has been washed, since there is a faint smell of soap. These are great for those who needle felt figures and objects. However, I could see it being a problem if you do a lot of flat felting. For that, you're probably better off using a brush to felt on instead.I'll update this if this mat starts to stink, however, it seems unlikely.

Nicer to use than foam block, good size

Only issue is the wool tends to bind to the felting service which makes it hard to clean between projects.
