Watermint - Corriedale, UK Alpaca & Sari Silk combed top - Winnham Blend
Watermint - Corriedale, UK Alpaca & Sari Silk combed top - Winnham Blend
A blend of 72% corriedale wool, 14% natural, undyed UK Alpaca and 14% recycled sari silk - Teals and greys with bright colours running through it/ You might also find a little bit of sparkle from the recycled sari silk as it adds texture to this blend
Ah, the perils of picking a theme for colour names! You may have noticed that all the colourways in my Winnham Blend are flowers or plants. All well and good until I wanted to bring you a version of Pretty Teal that included the undyed UK Alpaca, there's no such thing as a teal flower! There is, however, a flower called watermint so imagine if you will, the river reflecting the blue of the sky, blending with the greens of the aquatic plants with the occasional pop of colour from a watermint flower - How did I do? This is Watermint, a lovely soft teal and grey blend with touches of colour from the sari silk. Not botanically accurate but a very pretty colour
72% 25-30 micron corriedale, staple length 80-120mm, complies to Oeko-Tex 100, EN71-3:2019+A1:2021 standards
14% Natural undyed, Alpaca from the UK, 28 - 29 microns
14% recycled sari silk - As Sari Silk is a recycled handmade and hand dyed product, I suggest only cold water use
Braids, Bundles & Buns
Braids, Bundles & Buns
I package my combed top in Braids, Bundles and Buns, most of my fibre is available in all three sizes.
A Braid is a minimum of 100g of combed top and it is 'crocheted' into a braid. To use it just untuck the end and pull, it'll just unravel easily. If it doesn't then you're probably working from the wrong end, flip it and try again
A Bundle in a minimum of 50g of combed top. This will come wound into a bundle with the end tucked in. All you need do is locate the end and you're off
A Bun is a minimum of 25g combed top and its rolled into a cute little bun shape. you'll probably be able to find either end to work from
Sometimes you might find a mini bun in a selection box, those are a minimum of 10g
Colour matching & images
Colour matching & images
I do my very best to show you images that portray my products accurately. However, colours will vary with monitor settings etc and some, in particular reds, oranges and pinks, do not photograph well. If I can help with descriptions, just let me know using the chat or drop me an email at anna@alittletangled.co.uk
Washing & Care
Washing & Care
'Cool hand wash and dry flat' is my suggestion for the majority of fibres. Most will felt (which could be a good thing if you're a felter!) and it's always a good idea to wash strong colours separately.
