Back to Wool Nepps and Slubs
Wool Slubs – Paint Box
$3.50 – $15.75
These are fun little “bits” of wool, used by felters as an embellishment and used by spinners for blending to create tweedy yarns.
Slubs are kind of like the cheese curds of wool, mainly sort of skinny sausage or torpedo-shaped pieces around 1 to 2cm (1/2 to 1 inch) in length.
Assorted colours.

Merino – Superwash White 22mic (Top)
SUPERWASH Merino. Classification: FINE WOOL
The most common fibre offered as Superwash, this is lovely combed Merino top in an ivory-white colour. Micron count is 22, which is plenty soft for against the skin wear and a multitude of other uses. Perfect for knitting items that require easy laundering. Wool is conditioned through an enzyme process that strips off the outer scales, which prevents felting. This also makes for a different effect during the dyeing process, because Superwash fibre sucks up the dye quickly.
Merino rates high for softness. Staple length is generally 2.5 to 4 inches. The Superwash treatment makes for a slippery feel during spinning when compared to untreated Merino, so it's not necessarily a good choice for beginners.
NOTE: Superwash fibre is NOT GOOD FOR FELTING.
