New Fibers for Felting and Stitch

We now have new, gorgeous fibers from Oliver Twists to enhance your embroidery, machine-stitch, and machine needle-felting needs. They all come in luscious colors, but please note, as these fibers are hand-dyed, the colors vary widely. For example, if you order something in Red Flame, it may be almost completely red, reddish-orange, or mostly orange. So, choose accordingly, and please be open to serendipity.

Cotton Thread Pack-These hand-dyed, color-coordinated threads are perfect for hand embroidery. Each package contains 45 meters of 2-ply fine cotton, 25 meters of 2-ply medium cotton, and 10 meters of stranded cotton.

Scrim Twists-Beautifully soft, hand-dyed hanks of scrim (gauze), perfect for machine needle-felting and mixed-media projects.

Abaca Tissue-This lightweight, hand-dyed fiber looks like paper but feels like fabric. When backed with felt, abaca tissue provides a superb paper base for stitch, collage, and embellishment.

Silk Tops-Each package contains approx. 8 grams of lustrous, hand-dyed, cultivated mulberry silk with long, combed fibers. Suitable for needle or wet felting (adding luster to wool); silk papermaking; spinning into yarn; or couching into embroidery to add texture.

Creative Felting 

Creative Felting

In this new book, author and artist Lizzie Houghton first steps out the felting process in functional, drawn illustrations. The second part provides 30 projects and a ton of inspiration, exploding with color and texture through the use of full-color, extreme close-up photography.
 
Though she doesn't incorporate machine needle-felting, most any of her techniques can be adapted to use with the machine. Creative Felting is full of inspiration for those who love to play with fibers.
