Working with needle fleece
The use of needled fleece can save a lot of work, because you no longer have to lay out the wool yourself for felting. The needle fleece also makes it easier to felt nice regular surfaces.
Cut or cut decorations
You can also cut or cut shapes from the needled fleece (with a rotary cutter) and which felt on a background as decoration. This can be done by means of wet felting, but also by means of needle felting, or a combination of both techniques. With the fleece you can create beautifully sharply defined shapes. Not only on a base of self-laid wool or needled fleece, but also on silk or other open woven fabrics.
To combine
By felting two pieces of needled fleece on top of each other, you can make a sturdy felt for bags, for example. By using two colors of needle felt, you can also make sturdy two-tone felt. Each side a different color!
A responsible product
Merino sheep are known for their high quality wool production. But whoever thought that they only thrive far away is mistaken. Originally the merino sheep comes from North Africa and Spain, but it is now kept all over the world, including other European countries.
The wool of European merino's is less fine than that of merino's from warmer areas, such as Australia. But otherwise this wool has the same excellent properties and it is also guaranteed mulesing-free and has a smaller carbon footprint. The fineness of 27 microns certainly makes the wool very suitable for most applications. In short, an attractive wool and also more animal-friendly and more ecologically responsible!
Biological
The sheep are kept by small-scale family farms, which work according to the principles of organic production. However, not all of these companies are certified organic because of the high costs. As a result, we cannot issue certification for the wool. In the spring of 2018 we visited some of these sheep farmers. There we could see with our own eyes that they take good care of their animals.
The shorn wool is washed, dyed, carded and combed by an almost two-century old company with a rich history. However, that company is completely up to date, with modern machines and its own laboratory for quality control. Making environmentally friendly products is the starting point here. We have also visited this company and partly because of this we are really confident that our European merino wool is produced in a responsible manner.
