You can needle felt soysilk?!? Soysilk is one of my favorite fibers, so this is the most exciting news I've heard all I don't know, all month probably! Thanks for making my day and filling my head with all sorts of ideas!
Many thanks for sharing your experiment and the results of it : I'd love to try felting bamboo, but unfortunately I'm not sure what exactley I have to buy to get the result you got. Did you just use a usual bamboofiber? Or does it have to be something special? Thank you so much for your efforts.
Warm wishes sternengold :. I have been asked by a vegan if it is possible for me to produce one of my felted items for her in a vegan-friendly fibre, and I've bought some bamboo to experiment with, so it's great to know I won't be wasting my time! I am vegan and into hat making. I wanted to get answers from my teacher about felting but not much came out and then your blog, yay!
Basically she doesn't work with anything else than wool and fur felted of course So since we are suppose to mold felt into hats I want to know if anyone knows where I can find a bamboo or soy fiber I guess hood or capeline for the making of a hat? I would be forever grateful.
Does bamboo and soy come in a yarn like wool does? And does that mean I can make dryer balls with them just like you would with wool. Does that mean that bamboo and soy come in a yarn like wool does? And I can make a dryer ball with them just like you can with wool?? Bamboo and Soy come in combed top as does wool. You can find yarn made of the fibers as well.
Combed top is unspun fiber. I've never made the wool dryer ball before, but what I have shown with this post is that it is possible to needle felt bamboo and soy silk. They will not wet felt like wool does and therefore I do not know whether or not they are the best choice for dryer balls. It depends on the process you are using. Hi, I really enjoyed your experiment and it was just what I needed to know.
As a vegan I don't use wool and I saw this tutorial to make Dryer Balls but they use wool. My alpacas Bella, Virginia and Kicho, supply me with much of the animal hair that I use for my kind of felting. But I supplement much of their black and white hair with the beautiful shades of wool from my friends with sheep. Fiber shows supply the additional wools dyed in a variety of beautiful colors.
After the shearing and the summer heat, 2 of the girls enjoy a spray bath! There are a number of types and techniques of felting nuno, knit, wet, sculpture, hats, etc. Needle felting simply hooks onto fibers with specially placed barbs felting needle and forces fibers to tangled as you punch through the fabric! Fiber shows and craft stores carry the basic tools for Needle felting. Crucial of course are the needles. They come in various sizes-either single or as groups. And a surface on which to place your fabric to begin the felting poking process.
The image shows several gathered from various suppliers. All I use is in the image. Below is a first result from a student of mine who first painted this very same scene on canvas before using the wool as her canvas!
Since I am a painter, my needle felting takes on the feel of painting. I mainly use it to embellish my ecoprinted silk noil also known as raw silk I use raw silk for many of my garments and wall hangings as it feels very different from what we think of as silk…it has a pile noil is much heavier and is created with much shorter strands of silk.
After ecoprinting a piece of yardage I look at it awhile and can envision where my embellishments such as birds, flowers or my Woodland Fairies might go to enhance my vision. Silk is a protein fibre, however it is unique because it can be dyed in the same way as wool but also the same way cellulose fibres like cotton are dyed.
