What forms can I buy my Wool Fibre in? : eBay Guides

Here are some of the forms you can buy your fibres in for felting or spinning.

Unwashed Fleece – This is greasy fleece cuttings.

Washed and Scourced Fleece – This is the washed fleece version.

Carded Batt – A carded batt is washed and scourced fleece that has been carded into a length, ready for brushing. The fibres are multi-directional, so it looks like a length of fluff!

Rovings or Tops – This is a brushed carded ‘sliver’. All of the fibres are smoothe and going in one direction.

Nepps, Knops, Burrs or Slubs – These are usually by-products of the scouring, or carding processes. They are small bobble-like bits of fleece, which are great for effects in your feltwork.

All are sold by gram, or ounce if you are overseas.
