Carded wool
We carry a large selection of carded wool for hobbies such as wool felting and needle felting. Find carded wool in a consistently high quality from New Zealand here. There's a wide range of colours to choose from, and the carded wool can be purchased individually or in packs of assorted colours.
Gorgeous, carded wool in many colours
On this page, we have gathered all our wool to inspire you. We sell carded wool in many different colours and, regardless of colour, brand and number of grams, you can expect a good quality. The colours of the carded wool range from neutral colours, such as black, white and grey, to more colourful options, such as orange, terracotta, yellow, red, pink, purple, blue and turquoise.
Our range also offers some help in the shape of starter kits for needle and wool felting. In addition to the different starter kits, which contain a wide range of products so that you or e.g. a school class can start being creative, you will also find bundle packs containing several different colours.
You can typically choose between very large packs that contain a wide range of colours, or packs with fewer wool bundles that contain colours on a specific end of the colour scale. These could, for example, be the combinations of red/orange or blue/turquoise. Of course, you also have the option of buying a single wool bundle in your preferred colour.
The weight of each individual wool bundle typically varies from 10 to 100 grams. However, you may also be lucky enough to find large bundles of wool weighing 200 to 800 grams.
What is carded wool and what can you use it for?
When wool comes from sheep, it can be lumpy and unsuitable for use in clothing or other things. Therefore, it is very useful to card the wool. Carding is a process in which the fibres in the wool are loosened, resulting in airy wool that is ready to be spun into yarn. Alternatively, you can also use the carded wool for felting or other activities that require a light and airy layer of wool fibres.
Carded wool can either be carded by hand or via a machine. If the wool is carded by hand, two tools are typically used. The attachments have handles and a flat plate with metal hooks on one side. These hooks grab the wool and tear it apart easily, thereby loosening the material.
By buying wool that is already carded, you will save time and money by not having to do it yourself.
