Merino and Tencel .....I like!
This morning I woke up wanting to felt. I had some fiber that I had not played with yet. It is a merino and tencel fiber mix. Tencel is a fiber made from wood pulp cellulose. In felting, I can liken the look to that of tussah silk fibers. It gives a really nice shiny look with that typical wavy look that I seem to get when I use the silk fibers. It has a nice soft feel and if I wanted to make a piece of clothing ( which I don't know how to do...) I think this would be a nice blend to use. I really like it! This photo is from parts of the bag that I am making from this fiber. I used a resist, but will post a picture of the finished bag later! Have a wonderful Sunday!
