I liked the way it worked with the dark brown Corriedale tops.

Corriedale and Ingeo
I like Ingeo, it's different to many of the other embellishment fibres, it isn't particularly shiny, but does have a sheen. There's a nice soft, almost 'fluffy' look and feel to it too, but it isn't fluffy or hairy, if that makes sense? :)

Ive never heard off those embellishment fibres...there is a lot I don't know about felting...they look beautiful though!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ali :)
DeleteLooks absolutely fantastic? Is it from corn? Or smth completely synthetic?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Felicity :)
DeleteYep, it's made from corn, but I didn't know how till I saw Lyn's link!
I tried dyeing it with procion dyes, thinking it should dye, but it didn't at all. I see why now :)
You lead the way with the experimentation of felting fibres! I'd never heard of ingeo but it looks terrific - the supermacro really shows it well.
ReplyDeleteFelicity - I googled it and this is interesting info:

I didn't think it was that complicated, Lyn!
DeleteThanks, it is a nice fibre to work with :)
Interesting, Lyn! Thank you!
