Ages ago I bought a pink pen styled felting tool, our member Peggy recommended it, i did try it but still couldn't really get the hang of it, however when reading the other post On rooting tools, I decided to give it another go, so glad that I did. I went onto youtube and searched for rooting with a 43 g fork needle. There I found a demonstration, I was holding my needle in the wrong position I thought there would be a barb on the end, but it isn't it is a little fork shaped right on the tip, I had been trying to slide my needle across the hair, to catch the barb, so now I have the knack. So glad the other post came back up otherwise I would never have tried again.
There's always something new to learn.
Hugs Doris.
