Yarn Painting vs. Needle Felting for Baby Wall Art

I'm trying to decide between yarn painting ‌and needle‌ felting for some wall art for the baby's​ room, and I'm curious about everyone's experiences with both techniques.They both seem like great ways to create textured and colorful pieces, but I'm⁣ wondering about the practical aspects, especially ‌for a nursery.

Specifically, I'm thinking about things like ‌durability and ease of cleaning. Would needle-felted pieces tend to shed more ​over time,⁣ potentially posing a hazard as the baby gets older? And⁣ is yarn painting ⁤more prone ⁣to collecting dust that’s hard ‌to remove? I'm picturing doing simple designs, like maybe ⁤a hot air balloon or some‍ cute animals.

Also, any ‍thoughts on which technique is better for⁢ achieving ​certain textures​ or ‍levels of detail? Yarn painting seems potentially easier for⁢ bold shapes, while needle felting might be​ better for finer details like ‌facial features.⁢ I'm open to any insights or suggestions!
