Wool Fibres - Dyed

Superior fibres for feltmakers, these super soft Merino dyed wool tops, plus natural undyed, can be blended further to increase the palette. The hand-dyed, curly Wensleydale wool is ideal for adding texture and interest to hand felted items, and the variegated Merino Wool and Tussah Silk Blend add luxury. Choose from 50g or 100g bags. Our Multi-packs of wool tops extend the choice further and include up to 10 colours of wool in 100g bags.

NEW - the Fibrecrafts dyed Merino Wool Tops are now offered in units of 50g or 100g.

The wool tops, which are sometimes referred to as roving, are ideal for felt making as the fibre felts readily with not too much effort. The felt can be made either using the wet felting method or the wool tops can be worked together with a felting needle. The felting needle has barbs along its length which grab the fibre and push it back into the fibre mass. This process can be used to create needle felted animals, faces, dolls and embellishments for jewellery.

We include a large number of posts in our Blog about how to make felt and felt making techniques and also include a post which examines wool fibre under the microscope!
