treetops has
often wished we could offer the subtle beauty of our hand-dyed fibres at a
more affordable price. finally,
we are happy to announce a solution!
for over a year now, treetops has been part of an exciting new
joint project that has resulted in a range of uniquely dyed wool tops we
are calling colour nuances. through
our collaborative efforts with a boutique dye house we have created a uniquely coloured, machine
crafted range of wool tops that reflect the subtle shadings found in
nature and hand dyed wools. only the softest
superfine (18.5 micron) merino wool tops is chosen for dying with this
distinct process. special
care has also been taken to reduce any excessive processing of the wool to
insure a superb handle.
to
assist with your designing, we have especially created three palettes
within the range - neutrals/pastels, earth tones and brights. of course the subsets can be inter mixed, but each colour
within a palette has been thoughtfully chosen to harmonize.
colour nuances were
custom designed with the needs of the creative feltmaker and textile
artist in mind. when
felting with the colour nuances you will achieve a subtle
"suede-like" effect. some colours will have a greater
nuanced effect than others, a wonderful change from the uniformity of
standard commercially dyed wool tops! inquiries welcome for
wholesale and quantity discounts. colour cards $28.00. see our sampler mix web page for
exciting mixes using the colour nuances.
felters will find the colour nuances perfect for using with the silk for
clothing. superfine merino never becomes too firm and will
therefore allowing silk to drape beautifully. if you have never
used superfine wools before, it will take subtle adjustments to your felting
technique. please take the time to experiment.
