DETAILS
60% Falkland Merino wool, 40% Rose Fiber
Rose fibre is very similar to bamboo in appearance and feel. It is a new cellulose fibre made from rose bushes, it is environmentally friendly, green eco fibre. It is also bio-degradable.
Since there are no known sheep diseases in the Falkland Islands, the sheep are never dipped and never go through mulesing.
Micron count: 20-22
How soft is it? Next to skin soft for some
**This is a repeatable colorway, please head here for a custom dye if you need a larger quantity or would prefer it on a different fiber**
Dyed with Jacquard, Dharma and/or ProChem acid dyes.
I dye all my fiber using professional acid dyes in my smoke free and pet friendly home- our puppy 'Brutus' the Yorkshire Terrier is of course, not allowed to play with wool.
Care instructions: Because it is superwash treated, you can machine wash & dry the finished product on gentle cycle, however I recommend hand washing to lengthen the life of your item.

Please be aware. While I do strive to accurately represent the colors in all my products, all monitors vary and what I see on my screen, may not be what you see on yours.
I dye my fibers in small batches and no two 4 oz braids will be 100% the same- that's what makes working with hand dyed wool so fun!
Because of the nature of hand dyed fibers, each batch of 'Paintbrush' is unique & variations may occur.
