Description
- Maori wool is NZ wool but dyed in Italy. It is 27 microns, a very short fibre from Coopworth & Corriedale sheep.The fibre lends itself perfectly for detail work especially great for wool painting. We know at Wild Woolly that Funky Felters need lots of colours and not huge amounts for there 2D and 3D projects. Small bundles of maori wool are hard to come by. So Wild Woolly has been rolling 10g balls of maori wool to offer you a sample pack of 10 to get started on your land or seascape wool paintings.
“Maori” is a blend of carded wools from New Zealand. When DHG started creating this item back in 2007, they wanted a wool that was perfect for needle felting with a nice natural colour, that would allow them to create bright colours as well as soft pastel nuances. After numerous tests they came up with this blend that is now one of otheir iconic products, loved by both beginners and the more experienced. They couldn’t have chosen a more iconic name: Maori. A small tribute to a great nation and to the homeland of these wools!
These wools are carefully selected to ensure constant quality over time. All lots are MULESING FREE. The dyeing complies with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and is done in our dyeinghouse which is GOTS 5.0 and GRS certified.
*** These wools are washed before carding. Yet vegetal matters cannot be completely removed.
This blend is perfect for both needle and wet felting and spinning.
