The texture includes varied fibre lengths (staples) and thicknesses - because it's a by product , it is irregular, and the variations in fibre length, texture, and density give it a very desirable characteristic for something a 'bit different'. Perfect for all types of fibre artists who enjoy organic texture and hands-on experimentation.
Hand spinners use throwster waste for art yarns with texture and visual interest, core spinning, and experimental techniques, as well as blending with other natural fibers. Felters use it for wet felting textured surfaces, needle felting sculptural or abstract forms, and layering into felt sheets to create depth and movement. Crafters and textile artists incorporate throwster waste into mixed-media fiber art, doll hair, costume design, surface embellishment, and natural dye experiments.
