1 oz

This preparation reminds me of cotton. It’s very short stapled, more a fluffy cloud, really. Lovely to card into batts or add into your paper making slurry. Natural color. Great for dyeing, too.

Dyeing tips (learned the hard way)- Soak the noils for a long time in water with a few drops of dish detergent to aid the wetting. I squeeze and pull the noils to make sure they get fully wet- they don’t like water so it takes a little work. I have found I need to use twice the dye by weight of fiber dyeing silk noils vs wool products. I add the acid after I make sure the dye is even throughout the noils, as some colors strike super fast. I use citric acid.

If you need some dyed send me a convo, I love custom orders and I’m happy to dye the colors you need.
