Large Eco Wool Felting Mat (made from recycled wool and 100% compostable).
Size: Square 20cm x 20cm and A4 21x29cm
Really good value and a good square size for larger felting projects, this double-layer, eco-friendly felting mat works really well as an eco friendly alternative to foam or other plastic mats.
You may like our Earth Friendly Felting Mats available here. You can also get our Triple Eco Wool Mat which includes Felt sheets to keep your mats going even longer.
Note: the EcoWool Mat is made in the UK from recycled wool and is fully home compostable at the end of its life. The two mats will fuse together after a few stabs.
Important when 2D Needle Felting: When felting flat on the mat, as with any other mats, you will have to lift off your work regularly to stop it from getting fastened on. You can use a ‘barrier’ to create a thin finish and/or stop any fibre contamination. Try using a grease proof baking sheet or our wool viscose felt sheets. These will help but you will still have to lift off your work regularly.

Love this felting mat I had small version that was in a kit, I like the texture and it well last well. Thank you
Great size and much better than sponge I used previously.
I have 2 of these (bought 1 & later got 1 in a suprise bag) & a mini version (Advent Calendar gift) as well as an Earth Mat. These work well & are great value for money, however, I still use my Earth Mat more. The main reason being the loose fibres that come off the surface & edges of these mats irritate my skin.
I've a condition that causes skin hypersensitivity, I can't wear wool-rich fabrics or crochet with them, but I've never had any issues working with wool for needle felting before so was really surprised when I had a flare-up. I mainly do 2D landscapes & haven't had any problems except when using structural core felt & the eco mats, so I think it's the loose, shorter/fine fibres that cause the irritation. If I do use these, I make sure to fully cover the mats & my skin but can only work on them for a short time.
But just because they don't work for me doesn't mean they won't be perfect for you! I'm just giving a heads-up to any other felters that may have similar skin irritability issues (& possibly asthmatics) that, in my opinion, these do "shed" & a cover (I've got a felt one, could use cotton?) would probably be something to consider using.
Lovely felting mat, good size and arrived beautifully packaged with the other items I’d ordered
