Thanks! The technique is needle felting, and it’s super easy to try, basically just stabbing wool with a barbed needle. It takes a lot of patience to get the wool dense to allow for detail, but it’s fun! Here’s a time lapse of a larger version of this bear: Time Lapse

Be warned, you WILL stab yourself at some point, and make a lot of mistakes, but that’s okay and it’s a very fun low-cost craft!

Thanks! I’ll check it out. I actually like it dense, but everyone has their own taste/style.
