Needle Felting wool, Ocean Teal, Devon and Cornwall longwool curly wool, 10g

Hand dyed Devon and Cornwall Longwool felting wool in hand dyed by myself in an Ocean Teal theme, with varied blues and some aqua teals, and green tones too - lots of soft colour variations!  This batch can appear quite changable in varied lights, so I've tried to show the fibre in various lights and you can see it can look quite aqua, or more blue depending on your lighting!

This fibre is Devon and Cornwall longwool wool, a rare breed in the UK that grows lovely fat curls, waves and crimps with a coarse texture which makes it felt easily.  This fibre comes from Tregondale Farm, friends of mine near Bodmin Moor and not far from my own farm - I can confirm exceptionally high welfare standards! It is lovely knowing exactly where the fibre comes from and seeing the sheep living happy, healthy lives out in the fields.

I carefully hand process and hand dyed to preserve the gorgeous natural texture of the fleece, giving you soft flowing curls, chunky waves and some smaller crimps - plenty of character for your fibre art projects.

Devon and Cornwall Longwool is a favourite among felters and fibre artists because of its strong curly texture and excellent felting qualities. The fleece has a slightly coarser texture than softer spinning wools, which makes it fantastic for needle felting, wet felting and sculptural textile art. The curls hold their shape beautifully and add wonderful texture, movement and realism to finished pieces.   Many fibre artists also use these curls in weaving, art batts, mixed media embroidery, textured landscapes and spinning art yarns with lots of depth and texture.

The Ocean Teal shades work really well for mermaids, sea creatures, fantasy art dolls, ocean inspired landscapes, sea sprites, dragons and magical fibre art creations. The curls are also fantastic for doll hair wigs, weaving projects, art batts, mixed media embroidery and textured textile work where you want colour and texture.

There may be a small amount of VM, however they have been picked through thoroughly.
