Rose Spinning Fibre

Rose Viscose Top Roving Vegan Spinning Fibre
The natural rose fibre has been extracted from the natural waste of rose bushes and stems. The fibre has been stripped and processed to create a luxurious and soft handspinning spinning fibre, similar to silk.

Rose fibre is best spun with a medium to tight twist. The yarn can be used as a single ply or plied with itself or another fibre. The single ply is also lovely when used as weft in handwoven fabrics. Rose fiber can also be used in wet or needle felting, doll hair and paper making.

Rose fibre or yarns can be dyed with natural plant dyes and mordants or other dyes suitable for cellulose fibres.

Plant Fibres Update

I used to spin and weave with a lot of plant based fibres. Then a few years ago, I suddenly developed a severe allergy to Bamboo fibre. I now have to carry an epi-pen with me in case I come into contact with anything Bamboo. So I am now cautious of any plant fibres, cloth or clothing. I now only use wool, cotton, flax, hemp nettles – plant fibres that have been used safely by humans throughout the centuries.
