Felting Wool & Fiber

Wool for needle felting and wet felting, mostly carded Corriedale in solid colors, natural shades and mixed bags of matched tones. You'll also find combed tops, Gems micro-blends of merino, rose fiber and silk, and cut silk cocoons.

Carded Sliver or Combed Top

Most of this collection is carded Corriedale sliver. A sliver is a thin carded rope with no twist in it, and carding leaves the fibers crossing in every direction. Combed top has its fibers lined up side by side. Pull a tuft from each and you'll see it. Sliver comes away as a soft, fuzzy wisp, and top comes away as a smooth lock with the fibers running one way.

Mixed Bags and Natural Shades

The Carded Corrie Mixed Bags group colors by mood, like Woodland Creatures, Five Days of Grey, Marine Tones and Dragon Tones, so a palette for a small sculpture comes in one bag. Corriedale top also comes in its natural white, grey and brown, and the white takes dye if you'd rather mix your own colors. The natural grey comes as a 22 lb bump for big projects.

Tools for the Job

Needles, mats and holders are in felting needles and tools. If you're starting out, many needle felting kits put the wool, a needle and a mat in one box for a first project. For wool yarn made for felting, see felting yarn.
