Shades of Gray and Black Carded Short Fiber 23 Micron Merino Batt for Needle Felting Painting with Wool

This beautiful, high-quality 23-micron Merino wool batting is ideal for both needle felting and wet felting. Its short, carded fibers are easy to work with, making it an excellent choice for creating fine details, smooth surfaces, and beautifully blended colors.

Why choose 23-micron Merino?

At 23 microns, this wool offers a wonderful balance between softness and structure. It is fine enough to create delicate details, such as thin tree branches, clean lines, and whiskers, yet substantial enough that needle marks are less noticeable than with finer 19-micron wool.

Perfect for needle felting

The short staple length makes this wool especially easy to needle felt. Unlike longer fibers, which can be more difficult to control, these short fibers are easy to shape, blend, and build into detailed designs.

Wonderful for wet felting

This batting is equally lovely for wet felting. It can be gently pulled apart into thin, delicate veils for subtle color blending and layering, or used in thicker sections to build color, texture, and dimension.
