CORE WOOL ~ BASIC FELTING/STUFFING WOOL
This is just the one, if you are looking for a base or core wool for needle felting. It gives a smooth finish to all your needle felting works and is ideal for base work before you put on the colour (if you do). It keeps detailed shapes and it felts so quickly it is unbelievable.
It is also useful for wet felting, we have been using it on big and small projects and because it comes in a carded fleece you can take the layers easily apart for laying out thin layer up on layer.
SUITABLE FOR:
Wet felting
Stuffing teddys, dolls, cushion etc.
Needle or Dry felting
ORIGIN: grown and processed in South Germany
GUIDELINE: shown in the picture are1kg roll - 250gr is quite a lot, it is quite bulky so unless you are creating big pieces, this will last for a while!
