Synthetics
We have a large selection of synthetic fibres either in top or carded form. They have been selected for fancy effect in spinning and/or feltmaking.
For those really special effects, have a look at our Angelina fibres, a new, very fine (sized as small as 7.5 denier), unique fiber. Light reflective, as well as light refractive, Angelina is incredibly luminescent, while (unlike metallic) it has an extremely soft hand. Blended with other fibres in amounts as small as 2%, it gives sparkle and highlight to your yarn or felts.
Angelina comes in three classifications - Iridescent, Holographic and Metalized.
In naturally occurring mother of pearl, opals and peacock feathers, reflected rays interact to reinforce some wavelengths and dampen others. This breaks up the white light, so various colors reflect to the viewer. This same concept is used in the manufacture of the Iridescent Angelina fibre.
The Holographic Angelina has ultra high-tech color refractive sparks, while the metalized fiber gives soft metallic highlights.
Imagine diamond-like dew drops on a spider's web and the iridescence of butterfly wings!
