Outback Fibers imports Needled Prefelts (Felting Fabric) from Australia.  This felting fabric is the most innovative product on the market and is made from Extrafine Merino (20 microns) finely needled into pre-felt yardage, approximately 60" wide and 80" long, yet weighing only a few ounces.  It is so sheer, one can see through it.

Felting Fabric instructions

Needled Prefelts (Felting Fabric)

Prefelts Felting Fabric
New needled prefelts. Check out these new needled prefelts that will make your projects so much easier.  Available in 20 colors.

Use a single sheet for a gossamer-weight felt, or layer it, cut it, collage it. Use it with a fabric base or use it alone. Eliminates tedious lay-out time and produces a fine and even finished felt.

Outback Fibers
Merino wool roving fiber for felting and spinning.
We stock 72 glorious colors of 100% merino wool fiber plus additional wool blends. We sell our wool fiber to a large number of beginning and experienced felters and spinners all over North America. We also stock wool batts for felting in six colors (Merino - Corriedale blend)

ExtraFine / Superfine Wool Roving 

Extrafine / Superfine Wool Roving fibers are beautifully dyed and nuanced to provide stunning colors to use in your project.  Selected especially for nuno felting, these fine micron fibers will migrate easily through silk gauze and 5mm habotai silk fabric.

 

Superfine wool is designated below 19 microns. These "Superfine" wools are from 18 to 19.5 microns.  As such they bridge designation between superfine and extra-fine.  They are a unique addition to our wool tops product offerings.
