Felt, Icelandic, Wool & Felting batts

July 23, by Linda Lanese. 2 Comments

They say that Icelandic wool is probably the finest fiber you can use for your felting projects in that it is the fastest and easiest fiber to felt. Our felting batts are processed from the shorter spring clip that is taken off the sheep just prior to lambing. This is the fiber of choice as it is shorter than the fall clip and is much easier to felt. The shorter fibers can mingle better than the longer fibers making a stronger and more homogeneous felt. I have never tried it but I may and I will let you know what the outcome is.

I have found that some roving I have purchased does not felt well. Do any of you have experience with a really good roving and want to share your sources? http://www.icelandicsheep.com/Felt%20page.htm
