LANOLIN-RICH WOOL FLEECE – NATURAL WHITE
100% Virgin Wool | Origin: Germany | Fibre Fineness: 28 Micron | Lanolin-Rich

Soft, warm and naturally protective — this beautiful lanolin-rich wool fleece retains a high content of natural wool fat (lanolin), giving it a faint golden hue and a gentle, natural scent.

Sourced from animal-friendly, controlled husbandry in Germany, the fleece is washed and combed locally to preserve its natural character and resilience.

With its high lanolin content, this wool is wonderfully suited for spinning rich, soft yarns, for crafting traditional baby nappy covers, and for felting or knitting durable socks.

Core / Base Wool – Carded Fleece (South Germany)

This is the one if you want a reliable base/core wool for needle felting. It felts fast, keeps crisp detail, and gives a smooth finish before you add colour (if you do). Supplied as a carded fleece, it pulls into thin, even layers—great for wet felting layouts too.

Suitable for

• Needle felting: core builds, armatures, sculpted shapes

• Wet felting: thin layering (fleece peels apart cleanly)

• Stuffing: teddies, dolls, cushions, etc.

Why makers love it

• Felts unbelievably quickly

• Holds detail for clean, defined forms

• Smooth finish ready for colour layers

• Carded fleece format = easy drafting & layout

Origin

• Grown & processed: South Germany

Format & guideline

• Photos show a 1 kg roll.

• 250 g is quite a lot—this is a bulky fleece, so unless you’re making very large pieces, one portion will last a good while.

Care & storage

Store dry and out of direct sunlight. Spot clean finished work as needed; avoid heavy agitation.
