Wool Nepps

Colorful wool snow

Wool nepps are a beautiful decoration usually combined with handmade felt and art yarns. They come from the second cut of a sheep shearing and are nothing more but knots of tangled wool fibers. Because of their spherical shape and lightness we call them (here in BlanCraft) a wool snow.

Small, colorful wool nepps are shaggy enough to stick to felted products in the wet felting process. The connection between them is not very strong and nepps that are less attached may fall out after some time (just like glitter or sequins decorating other fabrics). If you want to keep them longer, you need to take a good care about your felted accessories and use them gently.

Regardless of their ephemerality, wool nepps – just like snowflakes – are simply beautiful and worth to look at them even for a short time!
