Description
Mantis shrimp is a textured gradient of deep and vibrant blue, teal, jade, and bright green 23 micron Merino wool with matching hand-dyed tussah silk, and green, orange, pink, and aqua hand-dyed neon mulberry silks.
Each batt contains:
- 80% 23 mic Merino wool
- 15% hand-dyed Tussah silk top
- 5% hand-dyed mulberry silk noil
Each batt has been carded twice.
These batts should be very easy to spin and are suitable for spinners of all experiences.
They are also suitable for felting.
You will receive a set just like the ones pictured.
Each set is made up of 2 x 50g (2 x 1.75oz) batts (You will receive 100g (3.5oz) in total). They come packaged in an opaque glassine paper bag, which is recyclable and biodegradable.
Please note:
These batts contain a mix of commercially dyed and hand-dyed fibres. Avoid soaking in hot water as there is a risk that dye may run from the recycled sari silk fibres. Soak separately in room temperature water to be safe.
Silk noils are a waste product from the silk-spinning mills, and may contain bits of vegetable matter. Most rough pieces end up under my carder as I make the batts, but pieces will remain in the batt, and they should fall out as you spin
