Our ecru (6511) Dutch wool originates from the Texel sheep. The other undyed colors are made by mixing the hairs of different types of Dutch sheep. Dutch wool is rough (36µ) and the hairs are long (110mmH). The wool is washed with potash, a mineral found in the Sahara desert, and then carded into a sliver with the width of a wrist. This product meets the high standards of the UNE-EN 71-2, UNE-EN 71-3 and Öko-Tex 100. Every step of the production process takes place in Western Europe.
Dutch wool is not suitable for felting because it is a rough type of wool with little scales. It is used mainly for needle felting, spinning yarn for clothing and to fill up the limbs of puppets.

Because every screen is different the colours you see here will be slightly different from the real colours of this material. Wool is a natural product which means that small colour differences between Woolfelt from different dye-lots can occur.
