The Reverse Felting Needle is a wonderful versatile tool and one of my all time favourite needles.
I get my needles from HeidiFeathers, they are brilliant in quality and all colour coded so you don’t lose track of which needle you are using! They deliver internationally and sell a variety of tools and fibres.
If you are starting out and don’t have any needles yet then it’s well worth getting a set of 30 Mixed Felting Needles – 10 Different types – Triangular, Star, Reverse & Twisted Needles https://amzn.to/3oSks9j
Or if you are looking to get individual needles then you can choose by needle type:

I started the obligatory hare a little while back. It was a kit I’d had bought but I wasn’t happy with how it was looking. I wanted it more life like but couldn’t find any instructions on how to improve it. I also started a wren ( in memory of a dear friend) but I wasn’t even impressed by the photo on the front of the box. So I started trawling through any instructions I could find to make mine better and that’s how I came across you! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and in such an easy to follow way. I’m not kidding myself, my pieces are not going to look like yours but they will be better than they are now.❤️❤️❤️
