ECO Needle Felting Punching Pad (Purple)
Material/Process: Firm foam made using a vacuum technique with ~50% bio-based raw material, avoiding the conventional chemical foaming agents used in polyurethane pads.
This ECO punching pad is built for needle felting: firm, durable and low-crumb so your work stays clean and your pad lasts longer than soft sponges. The surface resists pilling and “shedding” for far longer, giving you a consistent base for 2D pictures, 3D sculpting and detail work.
Available in 3 sizes (approx.):
-
Small: 10 × 15 cm (3.9″ × 5.9″)
-
Medium: 20 × 15 cm (7.9″ × 5.9″)
-
Large: 20 × 30 cm (7.9″ × 11.8″)
Colour: Purple (Previous pads were blue)
Why ECO?
Traditional punch pads are made from polyurethane using chemical foaming. Our maker uses a vacuum manufacturing process and a raw material that is partly bio-based (~50%), reducing reliance on conventional chemical foaming agents while delivering a firmer, longer-lasting pad.
Suggested Uses
-
Needle-felting bases for flat pictures, appliqué, and sculptural forms
