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? :)


 Here's a closer view:


This is a supermacro:


And this is a supermacro of an area where the fibres were laid out more thickly:


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

    1. Thanks, Felicity :)
      Yep, 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 :)

  3. 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.

    Felicity - I googled it and this is interesting info:
