Seacell Spinning Fibre
Seacell Seaweed Viscose Top Roving Vegan Spinning Fibre
Seacell fiber is a combination of a cellulose-based fibre, ground seaweed and silver. The addition of the seaweed gives the fibre increased antibacterial and fungicidal effects.
The Seacell fibre is very soft, luxurious and a delight to spin, much like spinning silk.
The spun seacell 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. Seacell fiber can also be used in felting and paper making. Seacell fiber can also be used for doll hair.
Seacell 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.
