Quick Guide to Felting Needles:
The higher the gauge number, the finer the needle and the smaller are the barbs.
The greater the number of barbs the quicker the needle will felt, with less accuracy.
The fewer the barbs a needle has, the greater the accuracy of the needle and the slower the process.
Most common gauges (from Heavy to fine): 32G, 36G, 38G, 40G, 42G, 46G

Felting Needle Types:
- Triangular (triangle in cross section) - regular, garden variety type
- Star (diamond star in cross section) - more sides, more barbs, faster and more efficient felting
- Inverted (reversed) - the barbs pull the wool instead of pushing, creating a fluffy fur look.
- Spiral (triangular or star) - the barbs twist wool around the end, making felting quicker with a neater finish with less surface holes.
- Crown - the barbs are only at the point, the finest detail work.
- Fork - does not have barbs, instead it has a fork at the end and the hairs are caught in the middle of the fork then pushed into the doll's head, example.

Care:

- Needles are sharp. Avoid poking your fingers as it will be painful. Keep away from children and pets.
- Needles are brittle. Use the needle in a straight in - straight out motion. Avoid bending, twisting, forcing, wiggling and getting it stuck. Keep in a storage case.
- Needles are confusing. Keep them in a well-marked storage bags/containers.
- Needles are steel. Add a few grains of rice to the storage to avoid rusting. Or fill a jar with rice and stick them there. Or make a needle felted or rice-filled pin cushion.
