Carded Batts
The fibre used for the batts is 100% British Shetland wool top, which is hand dyed and then blended using a drum carder. The batts are available as either 100% pure Shetland wool or Shetland wool with added recycled sari silk and Angelina sparkle for added luxury. Each batt weighs 100g.
Combed top
The Shetland combed top comprises approx. 100g of Pure British Shetland wool, which is dyed to Oeko-Tex 100 standard and complies with EN71-3:2019. It is custom blended at a family-run British spinning mill in Yorkshire.
Both the batts and top are suitable for spinning or felting.
