Superfine, mulesing-free Merino prepared as a lofty carded sliver, now in a deep, saturated black for spinning, wet felting, and needle felting. Soft enough for next-to-skin projects and rich enough to stand on its own or blend into striking colorwork.

Softer Feel, Striking Color, Versatile Crafting

  • Next-to-skin soft (≈19 microns) – Superfine Merino avoids prickliness in scarves, hats, cowls, and babywear.
  • Bold, lasting color – Deep black fiber creates dramatic solids, adds depth to blends, and won’t require over-dyeing.
  • Fast, reliable felting – The open, air-rich carded web locks quickly for wet felting, needle felting, nuno, and sculptural work.
  • Easy drafting – Smooth, consistent preparation makes spinning woolen or semi-worsted yarns a pleasure for beginners and pros alike.
  • Ethically sourced – Non-mulesed Merino with no harsh finishing, supporting animal welfare and low-impact making.

Carded Sliver vs. Combed Top—What You’ll Get

Sliver is a continuous, untwisted bundle of carded fibers. Carding gently opens, blends, and randomizes the fibers, trapping air for warmth and quick felting. Expect:

  • Lofty, insulating yarns when spun long-draw for classic woolen bounce and halo.
  • Smoother semi-worsted yarns with a shorter draw and more twist.
  • Tiny traces of VM (normal for carded preps) that flick out easily during drafting or felting.

Ideal Uses

  • Spinning: bold solids, colorwork accents, or blends with silks and dyed locks for depth.
  • Felting: wet-felt sheets, vessels, slippers; needle-felt sculptures, details, and backgrounds.
  • Colorwork: pair with lighter shades for high-contrast weaving, knitting, or crochet.
