About this wool
- 19 to 22 microns, with a 58 to 70 mm (2.3 to 2.75 in) staple. It drafts smoothly, felts quickly and spins to an even yarn.
- Responsibly sourced. Grown on South American farms and processed in Europe. Mulesing-free, and like all wool, renewable and biodegradable.
- Dyed with OEKO-TEX certified dyes.
- Ships fast from Idaho, USA.
How much do I need?
A palm-sized needle-felted figure takes about 1/2 to 1 oz over a core wool base, and classroom projects about 1/2 oz per student. A pound of combed top spins into roughly 1,400 to 2,000 yards of fingering-weight yarn.
Good to know
We’ve matched the photos to the wool as closely as we can, but dye lots vary a little and every screen shows color its own way. This wool is very clean, but it’s a natural fiber, so you may find an occasional bit of plant matter.
