Create a birch or aspen bark inspired art batt or forest landscape with this texture kit! Simply add this texture to white wool on your drum carder or blending board. To create a aspen forest landscape with this texture, add a sky and a ground and some yellow cotton nepps from my shop!
This blend includes:
EUCALYPTUS. This shiny crimpy texture reminds me of BFL lamb and mohair with a clean cellulose handle and creates a dewy shimmer when blended with white wool. Perfect for branches and bark!
ESCHER THREAD BLEND. A recycled thread blend from my shop that includes threads of silk, linen, cotton, wool, sparkle and mohair for grey tones and striping and shadows.
WOOL NEPPS. This bumpy texture is matte black and charcoal grey and looks like the knots and patterns on the bark.
WOOL THREAD CLOUD. Dyed black, these dark threads create texture that looks like a close up of the bark striping.
COTTON NEPPS. Natural, undyed white.
CREATE A LANDSCAPE: Choose a ground, a sky, and a flower to card up a few densely textured batts, or many finely textured batts to create a bigger project. This texture is also great for felting or fiber painting.
HOW TO USE: I have an extensive library of carding and spinning videos all available for free on YouTube. My channel is @neauveau and can be accessed at howtospinyarn.com (no www).
