Description of 🌾 Versatile Flax Fiber: Perfect for Spinning, Blending, Felting & Fiber Arts. Discover our Natural Vegan Combed Top Roving with Nettle!

2 OUNCES (50g) of dyed flax sliver, ready for spinning, blending, & felting projects. FLAX—ALSO KNOWN AS LINEN— is an eco-friendly fiber made from the stem of the flax plant. It is tough, breathable, and cool to the touch. SPINNING: Flax is much prized for adding longevity and a lovely drape to yarns. The fiber will get softer with each wash, but will not become stretchy. Perfect for creating summer garments, household linens, and accessories that will last for many years to come. FREE FROM TOXINS: Our fibers are rigorously tested to meet strict GOTS and Oeko-Tex standards. This means they are guaranteed to be free from harmful substances often found in manufacturing such as formaldehyde, pesticides, and heavy metals.

poor quality

I bought this in several colors. Flax fibers are short, more like tow. And they are lumpy and brittle. They were sorry to turn around.

Pros
  • confident
Cons
  • not reliable

The perfect cotton fiber!

This is a roomy bag made from soft cotton fiber in the perfect (for me) sage green color. I don't spin it so can't tell you how it spins but for fiber art it's just awesome! If this seller offers more earthy cotton fibers, I'll buy them all!

Pros
  • Multiple Competitors
Cons
  • Disappear

Ultra short staple length. Not as long as the description says.

This cotton fiber is amazingly soft. The colors are bright and beautiful, but the length of the staples is not 2-2.5 inches as stated in the description. The staple length of the fiber I received was 1-1.5 inches and is very difficult for a beginner cotton spinner to spin. Be sure to look for a different fiber if you are new to cotton spinning. I found carding this ribbon and making my own puni worked great, but figured I'd pay a higher price to have the fiber ready to be spun for a beginner…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Other Other
