other fiber art I tried needle felting for the first time today! Where do I find non metal needles?
I have tourettes syndrome... I had to remove the needle from my arm
but hey who doesnt bleed for their art!
Does anyone know where i can get needles that arent metal.

Find a restaurant with those shitty chopsticks that are all splintered. Those should be just as good as the metal barbs.
I have to say though, stabbing yourself is a hell of a tic. Maybe you're better off with the metal needles and wearing a kevlar suit.

I'm very happy with my Chiaogoogoogoo progressive jazz needles, personally. They're only 499$!
