The thicket of flower petals, dandelion tufts, and grass seeds in Grounded 2 can be a pain to sift through, but fortunately, thistle needles aren't too hard to spot once you know what to look for. They're handy materials to hoard too, as I'd easily blow through stacks of thistle needles while crafting arrows and fences en masse. You can never really gather too many, so get your storage bins sorted early.
The only bummer is having to pick thistle needles up one by one. They grow on weed stalks, so to gather a healthy supply, you'll need to carefully climb up and hop along leaves to strip plant stems clean.
