Review on Beadsmith Mandrel Storage Box with Labels for 6 Sizes: 4mm, 4.25mm by Dawn Fischer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great tool for felters!

I'm not a jeweller, I'm a felt artist and I love this dowel set! I received them very quickly (two days) which was amazing because I was terribly keen to use them for needle felting. I bought these to replace some rolled paper lollipops and lollipops because I wanted more permanent sticks. And when I found them, I thought they might be the solution. And aside from needing to wipe the dust, they came right out of the box and perfect for my needs! They're very smooth so they don't snag on the wool fiber when I wrap them around the dowels, and the 5-1/2 inch (or so) length works well for the size of things I make. The variety of thicknesses gives me almost limitless options! I wanted to use individual dowels, cut them to length, grind them and use them, but why? When I found this set I was very excited and the carrying case means I can keep them in hand and protect everything in one convenient place that tucks into my pantry bag. I couldn't be happier with them!

Pros
