Felbi Prefelt | China Blue Patchy

Uses

Wet felting, nuno felting, needle felting, machine embellishing.

Specs

Delicate 19-20 micron Merino wool prefelt.  Staple length is about 50mm.  Grown and manufactured in Australia, the average gsm (grams per square metre) is 80 grams but this roll of china blue is  50 - 60 gsm, can be a bit patchy  and needs to be doubled up for wet felting.  So, half price it is!  Only available in 150x200cm.  It is a washed out, faded denim blue colour.

More Info

Felbi Prefelt eliminates the need to lay-out your own web of wool fibres which is a significant time saver when wet felting.  It is felted the same way as wool top  and gives a smooth, even finish.  It can be felted in layers depending on the required density of your finished felt article.   Felbi easily integrates other fabrics, fibres and yarns through processes felt makers call nuno felting or laminating.  Its delicate web of wool fibres ensures a lovely drape in the finished felt when using just one or two layers.  

It can also be used for  needle felting and machine embellishing but broader fibres like our Corrie Wool Top and Crossbred Merino are better suited for the purpose.
