Felting Wool Silk Blend 66% Merino & 34% Silk – Double Carded

Blending merino and silk felts beautifully, helping you achieve smooth, consistent, hole-free results with a soft, lustrous finish. At Tweed Valley Textile Company. We offer a premium collection of Felting Wool Silk blend Wool Tops, a luxurious blend of 64% ultra-fine New Zealand Merino wool and 34% silk. Because the fibres complement one another so well, the blend is both easy to work with and visually refined.

The silk content enhances strength, elasticity, and surface design, while it also adds subtle sheen and texture to your work. This blend improves durability and therefore supports more ambitious creative projects. Perfect for wet felting, Nuno felting, and textile art, this premium blend delivers professional-quality results every time.

64% Merino and 34% Silk Blend is Lustrous, Soft, and Ideal for Wearable Felting

Our 19-micron Merino and silk blend produces felt that is lightweight, strong, and beautifully soft against the skin. Additionally, it offers excellent drape, making it perfect for garments, scarves, wraps, and sculptural felted pieces. The fine Merino fibres felt easily and evenly, while the silk, meanwhile, adds drape, structure, and luminosity. As a result, this balance of strength and softness makes it ideal for wearable textiles, layered surfaces, and expressive 3D forms.

Why Fibre Artists Love This Blend

This double-carded Merino Silk blend glides smoothly during layout, felts evenly, and forms a refined surface with minimal effort. The silk fibres strengthen the felt and add a natural shimmer, creating elegant depth and visual movement. Furthermore, it’s a favourite in our workshops for its versatility, forgiving nature, and silky surface finish — perfect for both beginners and experienced artists.
