Hi there, I was wondering can felting yarn be used like normal crafting yarn? I want to make these cute lollipop christmas ornaments with my daughter that involve gluing the yarn in a spiral on a cardboard circle. I want to use natural wool. The only one I have found in the colors I need happens to be felting yarn. I have to order it online and I can’t really tell from the photo. Will that still work?
Felting wool for simple craft
Welcome to the forum!
What yarn do you want to use?
Usually spun wool (not superwash wool) is used for felting as well as knitting or crochet. So in general your yarn should work for crafting. The only consideration is how to wash it and it doesn’t sound like you’ll need to do that.
There are yarns like roving or top which are unspun and sometimes used for felting but the same caution as to washing would apply.
