KAPOK ~ Seed pod fibre 

In harvesting kapok fibre, the pods are either cut down or gathered when they fall, then broken open with mallets. The seed and fibre, removed from the pods by hand, are stirred in a basket; the seeds fall to the bottom, leaving the fibres free. Kapok is a moisture-resistant, quick-drying, resilient, and buoyant fibre. The fibres contain both lignin, a woody plant substance, and cellulose, a carbohydrate. The inelastic fibre, or floss, is too brittle for spinning, but it weighs only one-eighth as much as cotton. (Britannia Wikipedia)

It is ideal for stuffing cushions, dolls, upholstery and much more. Perfect for anybody who reacts to sheep-wool or prefers a vegan stuffing material.

16x16in pillow lightly packed 550g; solidly packed 1100g

SUITABLE FOR:
Stuffing teddys, dolls, cushion etc.

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!

COTTON BATTING
Cotton Batting - a vegan alternative to wool. Our cotton batting is soft and fluffy, but unlike wool fibres, cotton has no bounce and will give your stuffed items a more dense and solid feel.
