I've been using Corriedale 8 oz cream for the core of my animal. I have found it takes a lot of work to get the shape you want, but it is relatively cheap wool for the amount they give you and does work great as the core of your animal. It just takes longer to get a firm core. What's nice about it, this cream/white can also be used for white places on your animal. No need to add white. Just use the exposed core.For felting needles, I recommend an assortment package that includes a long and a short needle. The long is usually a 36 (your main felting needle) that has a triangle shaped tip. The short is a 38. For a better needle, I recommend buying the star tipped needles from Bear Creek. This tip is easier for piercing felted wool, so I get size 38 for detailing.There is plenty of wool in the 8 oz for making many small animals of one large animal. I keep mainly to the 6 inch max and have made 3 birds and one fox so far and there is plenty still left of the wool.As a beginner in felting, I am creating realistic animals. I have found that the eyes are the most important part of the animal, once you have the core made. Don't bother with a set of amber eyes. The pupil is way too small to be realistic for animals, but they are great for whimsical pieces. Spend the money and get good eyes. If you buy safety eyes, the backs will be too thick for your small animals. I cut the backs off and glue the half fronts to the felted piece. As to eye size, 4, 5, and 6 are the perfect sizes for your small creations.

I ordered this for the first time to make luminaries by wet felting and it has worked wonderfully. It felt quickly and it gives me the strength I need to hold it up but light enough to be a luminary
