Bheda Wool

Individual Colour Collection

Bheda wool is a versatile felting wool available in a wide range of rich, vibrant colours.

This wool combines the best characteristics of several sheep breeds including Ryeland, Suffolk, Shetland, Romney and Jacob, resulting in a balanced fibre that felts easily and creates smooth, durable felt.

The wool originates from New Zealand sheep farms and is guaranteed mulesing-free.

Each colour is dyed by hand using safe Swiss dyes, creating a palette of beautiful colours suitable for both beginners and experienced fibre artists.

Ethical Production

Bheda wool is dyed in a workshop that provides employment opportunities for underprivileged women, supporting socially responsible production and fair working conditions.

Colour Collection

This listing contains 55 individual colours.

Choose your colour from the dropdown menu.
Each colour is shown in the product images.

Suitable For

‱ Needle felting
‱ Wet felting
‱ Fibre blending
‱ Textile art
‱ Craft projects

With an average fibre fineness of approx. 25 microns, Bheda wool is considered a fine to medium wool, making it easy to felt while still providing strength and structure.

Fibre Details

‱ 100% wool
‱ Fibre fineness approx. 25 microns
‱ Wool sourced from New Zealand farms
‱ Guaranteed mulesing-free
‱ Hand dyed using safe Swiss dyes

Batch Differences

Because Bheda wool is dyed using traditional hand-dyeing methods, slight colour differences between batches may occur.

For larger projects we recommend ordering enough wool at the same time to minimise variation between colours.

Care

Finished felted items should be hand washed gently in lukewarm water and dried flat.

Flax Top Fibre Roving

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

Suitable for

‱ Hand spinning
‱ Needle felting
‱ Fibre blending
‱ Textile art and fibre crafts
‱ Linen yarn production

Flax adds strength, sheen and crisp structure to yarns and textile work.

Fibre Details

‱ 100% flax / linen
‱ Combed flax top
‱ Dew-retted fibre
‱ Colours: natural silver-beige or bleached white
‱ Grown and processed in Western Europe
‱ Plastic-free packaging

Care

Hand wash finished items gently and dry flat. Linen fibres soften beautifully with wear and washing.

Ramie Roving

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.

Ramie can also be used in fibre art and textile projects such as doll hair or decorative fibre work.

Suitable for

‱ Hand spinning
‱ Fibre blending
‱ Doll hair
‱ Dyeing experiments
‱ Textile art and fibre crafts
‱ Felting when blended with wool

Ramie does not felt on its own but bonds well with wool when incorporated into felted work.

Fibre Details

‱ 100% ramie fibre
‱ Plant fibre from the ramie nettle
‱ Approx. 25–30 micron
‱ Natural white colour
‱ Long strong fibres
‱ Vegan friendly

Care

Ramie fibres are very strong and durable. Finished textiles should be hand washed gently and dried flat.
