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.
