Sarafina® carries top of the line felting needles that work best for a variety of applications. The gauge number is inverse to the impact of the needle: therefore, a lower number gauge has large impact while higher number gauge is for fine details. If you think of working from the inside of a project, outwards, 36 leads to 38 and then to 40 or 42. Felting needles also have different shaft shapes, triangle, star, and twist which add to the needle's performance.
38 Star - Star needles have 4 barbed edges instead of three which increases efficiency with a better feel and less pull. The 38 works well in your pen tool or individually for sculpting shapes and building your piece. I use 38 the most.
You get 25 needles in this bulk package.
