Why Craft with Blended Fibres?
Lustrous Sheen & Soft Drape: Blending Mulberry silk roving or plant fibres into soft Merino adds a bright shimmer and elegant hang, ideal for hand-spun shawls and delicate garments.
Resilient Strength for Socks: Wool nylon blends marry natural thermal warmth with long-lasting durability, creating the perfect base for spinning sturdy sock yarns.
Rich Multi-Tonal Depth: Pre-blended tops deliver subtle heathered shade variations across your yarn or feltwork without the need for manual drum carding.
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are mixed with wool in these blends?
Our wool blends feature fine Merino and quality craft wools (ranging from 18.5 up to 30 micron) combined with accent fibres such as Mulberry silk, tussah silk, camel, baby alpaca, bamboo, and bio-nylon to enhance shine, elasticity, and handle.
Why choose a wool nylon blend for hand spinning?
Spinning a nylon wool blend gives your yarn superior friction resistance while keeping the breathability of natural wool, making it the top choice for socks, mittens, and hard-wearing textiles.
How do silk roving blends perform in wet felting?
Though silk alone does not shrink, the surrounding Merino fibers grab and contract around the silk roving during wet felting, anchoring the shiny strands to produce a textured, glossy surface.
Where are your fibre blends sourced?
We source ethically processed tops from World of Wool (UK) and Ashford (New Zealand), both meeting strict animal welfare standards. For hand-spinners preferring unwashed raw local fleece, we also direct-source raw sheep fleece straight off local farms in Young, NSW.
