ABOUT WOOL TOPS
Wool tops are a commercially prepared wool product in which the wool fibres undergo a mechanical combing process to straighten and align the fibres. The result is an extremely smooth, silky fibre preparation favoured by hand spinners and textile artists.
Use wool top for hand-spinning, weaving, needle and wet felting, giant knitting and a myriad of textile art projects.
FINISHING
To block or wash your piece, prepare a bath of tepid water and if desired add a few drops of mild detergent or wool wash. Immerse the piece and soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Lift the piece from the water and allow to drain. Gently remove excess water by pressing the fabric between layers of a dry towel. Lay flat to dry.
