Silky, smooth bamboo fibre for spinning, blending and felting
This long-staple bamboo fibre top is beautifully smooth and lustrous, drafting easily for spinning and fibre blending.
Bamboo adds a soft sheen, drape and lightness to handspun yarns and works especially well when blended with wool, alpaca or silk. It can also be used in felting projects where its smooth fibres create subtle highlights and decorative textures.
Although bamboo can be spun on its own, many spinners enjoy blending it with animal fibres to add softness and shine.

27 Micron | 100 g | 12 Shades | 100% Mulesing-Free Wool | Dyed in Germany
A vibrant collection of wool fleece coloured with traditional natural dyes — soft, expressive fibres presented in a harmonious palette of twelve shades.
Each 100 g mixed bag contains a selection of colours created with natural dye sources such as indigo, madder, birch and weld. Some shades are produced using cochineal, a traditional insect dye long used in natural colour work.
The fleece is dyed in Germany using gentle, time-honoured techniques. The wool comes from mulesing-free farms and retains its natural character and lively fibre texture.
Because of the natural dyeing process, the fibres may be slightly pre-felted, giving the fleece a pleasant body and texture. While this can make wet felting a little slower, the fibre remains excellent for needle felting, spinning, blending, weaving and textile art.

Western European Linen Fibre
Beautiful long-staple flax fibre combed into a smooth, lustrous top—ready for spinning, needle felting or blending into art batts.
This flax is grown and processed entirely in Western Europe, where the cool climate produces some of the finest linen fibres in the world. The fibre is dew-retted, a traditional process in which moisture and microorganisms gently separate the fibres from the plant stems.
Flax spins best with lightly damp fingertips, allowing the fibres to draft smoothly and producing a strong, elegant linen yarn.
Choose between two preparations:
• Natural flax – unbleached fibre in its natural silver-beige tone
• Bleached flax – clean white linen fibre ideal for dyeing
• Hand spinning
• Needle felting

Strong Natural Plant Fibre
Beautiful, high-quality hemp fibre combed into a smooth spinning top. This degummed hemp roving is ready for spinning and other fibre art projects.
Hemp is one of the oldest textile fibres used by humans and comes from the stems of the Cannabis sativa plant. As a bast fibre, it shares characteristics with flax and ramie: strong, durable and naturally lustrous.
This hemp has been degummed, removing the natural plant gums so the fibre drafts more smoothly when spinning.
You can choose between two variants:

• Oxygen bleached hemp – light, clean fibre ideal for dyeing
Hemp fibres produce strong yarns and add durability and structure when blended with other fibres.
• Hand spinning

Fine Cultivated Silk with Beautiful Lustre
Natural mulberry silk roving with exceptional shine and softness. Mulberry silk, also known as Bombyx silk, comes from the domesticated silk moth (Bombyx mori), which feeds exclusively on mulberry leaves.
This cultivated silk fibre is known for its smooth texture, strength and luminous sheen. Compared with wild silks such as Tussah, mulberry silk is finer, softer and more uniform in colour.
Mulberry silk cocoons are typically processed before the moth emerges in order to preserve the long continuous silk filament. This is why the fibre is often referred to as cultivated silk.
The fibre is naturally very white and takes dye beautifully, making it ideal for creating bright or subtle colours.
• Hand spinning
• Fibre blending
• Wet felting surface decoration
• Needle felting embellishment
• Dyeing projects

After harvesting, the fibres are traditionally extracted and processed by hand. This artisanal process preserves the natural strength and character of the fibre and creates a distinctive plant fibre with a slightly silky appearance.
Himalayan nettle fibres have been used for centuries in traditional textiles and are valued for their strength, durability and natural beauty.
• Hand spinning
• Fibre blending
• Wet felting when blended with wool

Strong Natural Fibre from the Nettle Family
Ramie is a beautiful plant fibre derived from the ramie nettle (Boehmeria nivea), a traditional textile plant used for thousands of years in Asia.
The fibre is naturally white with a silky lustre and shares many characteristics with flax/linen. Ramie fibres are extremely strong, highly absorbent and take dye beautifully.
Compared with flax, ramie is slightly coarser but ramie fibres are naturally very long and strong. After processing into roving the staple length is typically around 6–15 cm, making it suitable for spinning and fibre blending.

Natural Tussah silk roving with a softly textured character and gentle natural sheen. Tussah silk is a wild silk fibre produced by oak-feeding silk moths, whose cocoons yield the naturally warm honey and ivory tones typical of this fibre.
Unlike mulberry silk, Tussah cocoons are often collected only after the moth has naturally emerged. Because of this, the silk is frequently referred to as “vegetarian silk.” The emergence of the moth breaks the continuous filament, resulting in a shorter staple fibre that is spun or prepared as roving.
Tussah silk is slightly less smooth and glossy than mulberry silk, but it brings beautiful character, warmth and natural sheen to yarns and fibre blends. The fibre is also lighter and fluffier to the touch, making it very pleasant to spin and blend.

Long Staple Wool | Strong Lustre | Ideal for Transparent Felt
Beautiful Wensleydale wool in combed top form.
At 31 microns, this is a coarser fibre with long, smooth, lustrous locks. It produces strong, characterful textures and is especially suited to transparent and lightweight felt surfaces.
When felted in thin layers, this exclusive wool creates particularly translucent felt with a lively, expressive surface. Ideal for wall pieces, light objects, and textile installations.
Minimum order: 100g.

• Long, smooth staple with natural sheen
Combed top is a smooth, long-fibre preparation. The raw wool is first carded to loosen and align the fibres while removing impurities. The fibre strands are then drawn through a fine comb to remove short fibres, resulting in long, parallel fibres with a smooth, lustrous finish.
This preparation gives strength, shine, and clarity to both spun yarn and felted surfaces.
Fibre fineness is measured in microns (µm), referring to the diameter of each fibre. The lower the number, the finer and softer the wool. At 31 microns, Wensleydale is coarser and more structural, making it ideal for texture and translucent effects rather than next-to-skin garments.
