Through
the Sarafina Fiber Art Website we carry lots of wool for needle felting
and we have broken them down into a few categories to make your
shopping for supplies easier: Core Wool, Roving and Top Coat, and House
Carded.
Our
Chunky core wool is springy and uniform so it builds up large bulky
areas quickly but is also smooth enough for the tiniest details.
This
roving is a blend of various sheep's wools creating the perfect
voluminous, easily felting texture for your needle felting projects.
Perfect for the core of your project.
A
wide variety of fibers and textures, and colors which are used in a
wide range of applications. From blends to Romney, to Mohair, we are
sure to have a roving that suits your project. Most of these rovings are
best for top coat application in needle felting. They are also good for
wet felting and spinning.
Sometimes
a custom color is the only way to go. We create our house carded line
using top shelf fibers like merino, angora, alpaca, and many more.
Explore the possibilities of our pelts and skin tones, old world santa,
pumpkin patch, and fiber art batts:
For
years, Sara has been carding her own custom colors for her sculptures
with endless possibilities and satisfying results. We create these 1 oz
batts in-house using top shelf fibers like merino, angora, alpaca, and
many more. These give you soft and realistic feel with needle
fellability in mind. Part of the beauty of an animal's coat is the
natural variation in the colors and textures. For that reason, a plain
dyed single roving does not have the dimension needed to replicate an
animal. Also, the addition of finer fibers to these batts makes a finer
top coat for your work. Pelts are meant to be used in a flat/pelt needle
felting application.
Bunny Bare
is a house carded batt made with the pinks of animal's skin in mind.
Gnome cheeks, dog bellies, rabbit ears, cats' noses, wherever you need a
touch of pink.
Snow White is
a dreamy blend of white wool for feltability and bulk, and angora for
whitening and softness, and iridescent Angelina for sparkle. Sara uses
this special blend as a top coat on snowmen, the trim for the Clauses
garb, or even a snow layer in a seasonal landscape.
Our 1 oz
Pig batt
is a muted pink blend of top coat, Merino, and a bit of core for
feltability. Use as a top coat for your momma pig and her piglets.
Skin
tones are tough to come by. Dyed roving for skin tones is often too
flat, too warm, or too cool. Sara has found that by blending these
similar tones and values together, she can obtain a more dynamic, alive
and realistic color. The skin tones batts are a blend of sheep breed
wools that work well for needle felting. Each batt is carded several
times to make the colors blend seamlessly.
We offer the skin tones in 1 ounce batts in six color tones. Or if you would like to try out all six of our skin tones, try our
Skin Tones Sampler Pack of 1/3 oz in each of the six colors.
Sara found that over the years she was always blending pinks to create a shade for cheeks and lips. She decided to make the
Cheeky Batt into a 1/2 oz batt since only small amounts are needed.
Bring
your Old World Santa to life with our House Carded 1 oz Batts. We
designed these rich colors to work well together or alone. They are a
well blended variety of smooth top coat wools types that both needle and
wet felt well.
When
pumpkin season arrives, celebrate by creating some pumpkins with our
rich pumpkin colors. There are three 1 oz batts of the Full Moon,
Harvest Moon, and Blue Moon. The Vine color is a 1/2 oz batt in tones
perfect for your pumpkin stem.
For
the spinner, wet felter, 2D artist, or needle felter, our inspired
batts will inspire you. We have as much fun making them as you will have
using them.
With
2D needle felting and wet felting in mind, these batts were created to
give you a leg up on some color palettes with fibers that felt well.
Within this Landscape collection of ten color ways are 7 large 2 oz
batts that will have areas where the colors are un-blended so that you
can pull from different areas for color variations: Summer Sky, Desert,
Canyon, Deep Forest, Meadow, Ocean, and Mountain. There are also 3
additional landscape 2 oz batt color ways that are blended: Morning
Mist, Purple Haze, and Timber.
There are plenty of other types and colors of wool on our
Sarafina Fiber Art website, so hop over and do some exploring.
