Presenting "Box of Illusions" Corriedale spinning or felting fibre. Very fluffy, corriedale is known for its natural crimp and even qualities. The unique natural way this fibre has been dyed gives it an exceptionally soft handle making this suitable for hand spinning directly from the braid either by your spinning wheel or drop spindle and will felt spectacularly well using all felting methods.

Perfect to use for making hats, gloves, blankets, shawls, scarves, felted knit or crochet items and weaving.

Approx 120g of luxurious fibre, one continuous length delivered as a braid with a small little silver heart charm keepsake attached as a thank you for choosing our fibres.

Naturally dyed then hand painted with layering techniques using a range of natural dyes developed from an unusual combination of ingredients in our kitchen and garden : dried flower heads, crushed fresh herbs, vegetables, various roots and other unusual ingredients giving beautiful tones and subtle hues throughout, one of a kind blends are created by my own speciality method of dyeing which takes from up to fifteen days to achieve, all are completely unique one of a kind items which are impossible to repeat.

Extremely challenging to photograph, all pictures are taken in natural daylight but it is still impossible to capture the true beauty of each length of fibre in a photo, there are lots of hues and variation throughout so these really must be seen and handled to be truly appreciated as the photos simply do not do the fibre justice.

All computer monitors or laptop screens display colours differently, I have done my best to give a true representation of the colours so please keep in mind that your screen may be displaying the tones slightly differently to mine.

Only natural dyes produced directly from locally grown plants, flowers, herbs, spices, roots and other items usually found on the grocery aisle of the supermarket are used in our designs, no harsh chemicals or irritants are in any of our products so they are kind to your delicate skin and our environment.

Everything is colourfast and has been washed of main dye residue, however, it is advisable to wash your finished item once by itself just in case there is a small trace amount of dye excess left in the fibre. Store out of direct sunlight.
