Ideas for Use:
Separate out all the colors into groups of color. For spinners - open the fibre out and spin a soft single thread. Use for weaving or ply with a fine cotton, silk or commercial
woolen thread to strengthen the yarn for knitting. The fine thread will be almost hidden in the yarn and won't obscure the fabulous
colors.
Use the beautiful shiny staples for extra texture in handwoven fabrics.
Handknot the staples into beautiful rugs or wall hangings.
Felters - use the colored staples as surface decoration. They look fantastic lightly felted into the surface of a natural
color felt.
