The Star Mix pairs the two star needle gauges together — the coarser 36 gauge for fast bulk work and the medium 38 gauge for efficient mid-stage coverage — giving you the full range of star needle performance in one pack. This listing is a 100 needles (50 of each) wholesale pack — our best per-needle value for high-volume use, studios, and classes.

What's in the Star Mix Felting Needles:

• 36 Gauge Star — fast, aggressive four-sided needle for bulk compaction and structure building
• 38 Gauge Star — medium four-sided needle for efficient mid-stage surface coverage and smoothing

When to Use the Star Mix Felting Needles:

The Star Mix is ideal for felters who rely on star needles for their speed advantage, working from bulk structure (36 gauge) through mid-stage coverage (38 gauge) before switching to finer needles for finishing.

Pro Tip: Use the 36 gauge star first for fast bulk compaction across large areas, then switch to the 38 gauge star for mid-stage surface work and smoothing before moving to triangle or spiral needles for refinement.

Also available in smaller packs — choose from 4 to 48 needles.

About Felting Needles

Felting needles come in a wide range of configurations — different gauges, shaft shapes, barb counts, and point styles. These variations let you choose the right tool for each stage of your project. Originally manufactured for industrial textile machinery, they have been adapted by artists and craftspeople into the hand tools used in needle felting today.
