Discover Australia’s largest collection of carded wool sliver and lofty wool batts for felting, core sculpting, and woolen hand spinning. Processing fleece through carding crisscrosses the natural wool fibres rather than aligning them parallel. This yields a springy, voluminous wool batting that interlocks effortlessly under needle felting tools and grips tightly during wet felting.
Combine your carded fleece with our multi-colour wool roving mixed packs or specialty wool blends, or return to our main Wool Roving & Fibre hub to explore all natural craft fibres. Buy carded wool batts and sliver online in Australia with fast dispatch.
Why Craft with Carded Wool Batts & Sliver?
Rapid Needle Felting: Crisscrossed fibres grab needle barbs instantly, reducing sculpting time when constructing 3D animal shapes and firm base structures.
Seamless Core Sculpting: Wide wool batts wrap smoothly around felted forms without leaving harsh surface ridges or dense packing lines.
Lofty Woollen Spinning: Carded sliver drafts with airy flexibility, producing bouncy, textured yarns full of natural warmth and elasticity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between carded wool sliver, wool batts, and combed roving?
Combed roving features smooth, parallel fibres ideal for worsted yarns. Carded sliver is a thick rope of crisscrossed fleece, while carded batts are broad, blanket-like sheets. Both carded formats interlock significantly faster during felting than combed roving.
Which wool micron is recommended for carded needle felting?
Carded Ashford Corriedale (27–30 micron) is preferred for 3D needle felting due to its sturdy crimp and strong hold. Carded Merino batts (18 –35 micron) offer a refined, ultra-soft surface for detailed features and wet-felted wearables.
Where are your carded batts and slivers sourced?
Our carded Corriedale and Merino batts are ethically sourced from world-class processors including Ashford (New Zealand) and World of Wool (UK). For spinners seeking raw, uncarded fleece, we also offer unwashed raw sheep fleece straight off local farms in Young, NSW.
Can carded wool batts be used for wet felting?
Yes. Laying down carded batts provides even, seamless coverage across large surfaces—making them ideal for wet-felted slippers, vessels, wall hangings, and garments without requiring multiple layered roving passes.
