FIBRE BRAID 70g | Merino/Falkland

Description

 More about this braid

This braid has been hand painted using acid dyes in my home studio. Hand painting is time consuming as I can only paint one braid at a time, as a result each is totally unique in its colour shade/placement. This particular blend is super fine and soft. “Falkland wools are produced with little to no reliance on pesticides, very near to organic but not certified.The combination of the careful breeding of the flocks and the clean atmosphere of the islands contributes to the special nature of the wool”.

This feels even softer than merino, perfect for those who find wool a little irritable on the skin. As a result it felts easily. This wool has a beautiful bloom after washing, making it particularly perfect for bulky warm spins.

Dyeing fibre this fine requires skill and patience. It’s taken me many years of practice to retain soft fluffy fibres when applying such rich vibrant colour. Before you use I suggest teasing it apart again a little after transit to add air back into the fibre for a fluffier spin.

I have done my best to rinse any excess dye from this braid till the water runs clear, however if you do find any bleeding it will stop after a few washes. Hand wash in cold water.
