This 4oz Silky Sock Batt Bites is in the Sweet Pea colorway. The fibers have been color coordinated and picked for ease of use. The fibers are 70% Merino, Silk, & BFL. They have 30% Firestar, Fake Angora, Fake Cashmere, and blending Nylon. This gives you the perfect balance of fibers for those who want to spin their own socks. These fibers are ready to go straight to your carder or you can try just spinning up the fluff. These fibers will also be fun for needle felting or other fiber art projects. This colorway was inspired by the flower. These fibers will spin up with a lovely sparkle to them. I find these bits of fluff to be next to skin soft for all of your fun projects.

My batts bites take a bit of work but I believe the end results are worth it! I typically dye my own fleece, rovings, silk, bamboo, and firestar in the colors that I want to make my batts in. After the normal dyeing process (soak, dye, set, cool, wash, rinse, dry) I am ready to start making my batts. I choose the look I want to go for and then I measure out my batt ingredients. I pick the roving and fleece open the same way I would if I was going to be carding these myself so you will get a nicely picked bag of fluffy batt bites. Normally my next step would be to start carding my ingredients but since I am just putting together the batt bites for you to card this is where I take photos and bag them up. In some cases I first precard the colors separately in order to nicely blend the roving, firestar, and angelina (or any other add ins) for you. This process takes a bit but I have had some wonderful feedback about my batts so you will enjoy making your batts too. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy them!

I found the fluff to be a bit difficult to photo the true color as the colors appear darker than they are. I have tried to describe it as best as I can. Please understand that monitors differ as well and the color that you see may not be the color that I see on mine. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask and I will answer them to the best of my abilities!

The wool in the batt bites will felt so I recommend washing your finished project by hand in cool water and lay flat to dry unless felting is your desired effect. These will make soft felted projects too. These are all hand dyed by me with professional acid based dyes. Also though I do my best to wash and rinse all dye out of my roving you may find that when you spin it up and wash it there is a small amount of color leakage. This is normal and should only happen the first few times if that.
