Description
This Mantis Shrimp set has been designed for plying!
I wanted to create a combed top with the same pops of intense neon as I have in my Mantis Shrimp batts, but without the risk of the colours mixing and turning muddy.
This set contains one 100g (3.5oz) braid of blended Merino and Tussah silk which has been dyed as a mirror gradient of deep midnight blue, navy blue, ultramarine, and teal green, and one 50g braid of blended Merino and Tussah silk which has been dyed with regular repeats of neon rainbows.
You will receive a 150g (5.25oz) set just like the one pictured.
- Fibre: 70% 23 mic Merino wool 30% Tussah silk
- Type: Combed top (Roving)
- Colourway: Rainbowfish
- Weight: 100g (3.5oz)
My hand-dyed combed fibres are suitable for beginners and experienced spinners, and are ideal for needle felting and wet felting.
Please note:
After dyeing the wool, and my fibres have cooled, they are rinsed in room-temperature water to remove residual citric acid and to check for colourfastness. Exposure to hot water may cause some colour release (this is normal). To help preserve the colour, always wash finished wool projects gently in room-temperature water using a mild wool wash. Avoid hot water and agitation, unless you want your fibres to felt.
