I got a nice surprise package from Karen the other day with lots of gorgeous fibres in  There's tissue silk, organza yarn, hemp, sari silk ribbons, mulberry silks and 15 mic Optim merino  If you want to see a bigger photo: feltbyzed.blogspot.com/2011/12/gorgeous-fibres.html#comment-formclick on it, it doesn't go to the huge size like they used to, but you can still see how gorgeous they are |

I thought I'd do a sample piece of the Optim, and a smaple with the hemp, and maybe a black piece with the mulberry silks and maybe one with the organza yarn and sari ribbon |

I wouldn't need to make anything with them - I'd be happy just to sit and look at the colours and textures!

I know what you mean, Lyn! I actually took loads of photos of the mulberry silks because they are so gorgeous |

You know, I've been holding my breath since the 22nd when you posted this, waiting for samples, and I am beginning to turn blue! The fibers are beautiful. You are one lucky, and very nice, felter!

Heh, yep those were from me. I don't know if they are all good for spinning, but they all work well for felting. The cotton noil is probably one I've used least.
