Just bought some needles on a whim on ebay. What all do I need to start felting. Which books and supplies do you reccommend?

I'm feeling sarcastic today (insomnia 3 days in a row will do that to me)....the answer that first came to mind was "wool". LOL! Because really "all ya need is wool" (sing to the tune of "All You Need is Love"

If you want to needle felt it's nice to have a piece of foam (like chair pad foam) so you have a work surface that won't mind being poked.

My favorite books are

Making Fairy-tale Wool Animals
Making Fairy-tale Wool Puppets

followed by

Magic Wool
More Magic Wool

http://www.thesilverpenny.com has the fairy tale books...maybe the others too. http://www.achildsdream.com has a good selection of felting books. I would assume http://www.mielkesfarm.com does too. They have DREAMY wool.
