BYZANTINE Alphonse Mucha Inspired Fiber Artist Texture Blend - 2.5 ounces
BYZANTINE Alphonse Mucha Inspired Fiber Artist Texture Blend - 2.5 ounces
An extra chunky blend of rare churro wool and recycled fibers for creating art batts, rolags, and blends to spin into yarn for knitting, weaving, crochet, felting, and fiber art. A little can go a long way! Each bag is subtly different due to the size of the texture and nuance in the dyed bits.
In this handcrafted LIMITED EDITION blend you'll find:
- WOOL MALLOWS: Hand-dyed “marshmallows” of rare Churro wool
- WOOL NEPPS: Tiny balls of wool that love to be blended with mohair or other long wool fibers. Wool Nepps create a bumpy polka dot texture and are zero-waste.
- SPARKLE: A bit of angelina sparkle for an extra dimension of glitz!
- RECYCLED THREADS. Hand cut wool, cotton, linen, and other high quality weaving remnant threads to create a scrappy aesthetic.
Churro sliver (roving) is grown and sourced in the USA is on the Shave em to Save em Livestock Conservancy list. I've conditioned the churro in Unicorn Fibre Rinse to soften and improve the handle of this beginner-friendly delightful medium heritage wool. It blends beautifully with fine wools and mohair.
