Make a clear line between two colors is a very important skill in wool felting. It determines how vivid and clear the craft's looking is. Now, I will tell you a easy way to felt all the wool fibers in the right part of your toy.
When taking the amount needed of the color you're adding on, you will always find the fibers are disorder and go everywhere. So, you need to use your hands to fold it over to form a straight, even line. Then cover it to the right part of the body or wherever is needed. Take this black wool as example.
Like so. Place this black strand on the basic body and gently poke along the fold to set into place. The magic weapon here is your needle. Use your felting needle to round up your edge, then poke it. Beginners might need more practice on this skill. But you will find it's so easy when you make most of your needle out.
By the way, good felting needles usually with long service life and can help shrinking the time you spend on you craft. The last picture shows my favorite brand of felting needle. They are my magic tool.
