	Quality Felting Mat ($16) This is the mat that I use.
	Economy Felting Mat ($8) This mat will get the job done. It also includes a wooden multi-needle holder but the needles included in it low quality.
	High Quality Needle Set ($22) Fifteen needles • 5 of each size • German made These are top-of-the-line needles and are the only ones I use. You get 5 large star, 5 medium star, and 5 small spirals.
	High Quality Small Set ($12)  6 needles • 2 of each size • German made,  this is a smaller set of the above needles.  You get 2 large star, 2 medium star, and 2 small spirals.
	Economy Needle Set ($17) This set has 60(!) needles and at first glance looks like a better deal. The origin is unknown but likely China made and will break and dull easily. You do get a lot of needles in a variety of sizes and shapes.
	Scissors Set ($10) One pair is curved the other is straight. Both will get lots of use. I particularly love the curved scissors for carving core wool and snipping off fly aways.
