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 3 times to create a smooth gradient and lofty batt.
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
