Has anyone used "Milk Fiber" and used it in their felting. I just discovered it this past week while at a farmer market. It is very shiny. It sorta looks like silk.
I've only used a sample of if as an embellishment in a wet felted piece. It felted fine and keeps it's sheen. I'm sure some of the other members can tell you more.
I made a panel recently of Icelandic with Milk, it'll probably be on my next blog post. It's softer than silk and more 'white', and similar to Ingeo (corn) has a 'fluffy' look to it.
Wow, thanks Zed, for showing us those project using the Milk fiber. It does have a lovely effect. The white scarf is beautiful. I also enjoyed looking at the Finn wool. Thanks for sharing with us all.
Judy, I didn't spin the milk fibre myself. My spinning skills are extrememly limited and I'd never be able to spin enough to make a knitted garment. I just use my scrappy efforts in felting.
Hello Judith. I am attempting to learn how to spin. I have found it very challenging. Like you I just wanted to use the art yarn in my felting pieces. I do not knit but I do crochet..
I use a drop spindle mostly but have never tried milk fiber. If you look for a youTube video that uses the park and draft technique to teach how to spin you may have more luck. Take you spindle with you to the fiber event I get someone there will be doing a demo and would help you.

I've only ever used milk fibre on a sample. It was ok but didn't tick all the boxes that viscose fibre did. HOWEVER seeing Zed’s gorgeous scarf is making me think I should give it another try.
