Merino Tweed Batt
Carded New Zealand Merino with cotton neps
These beautifully dyed carded merino batts contain small cotton neps that create a subtle Donegal-style tweed effect when spun.
The fibre is made from 100% New Zealand Merino wool (27 micron) blended with cotton dots. The relatively short fibres make this preparation especially suitable for strong felts, whether needle felted or wet felted.
When spun, the cotton neps appear as small speckles throughout the yarn, giving a lively tweed texture reminiscent of traditional Donegal yarns.
