Final touch-ups and corrections on finished pieces

32 gauge triangle needles are used for fast shaping and bulk fiber compaction in the early stages of a project

Absorption properties are similar to cotton and so the fiber feels cool

and finish the surface with the 40 gauge spiral before a final pass with a 42 gauge finishing needle

Microns: 25-30mic

Oak Gall - 8 oz Fiber Content_Ingeo Corn Final touch-ups and corrections onGallnut or Oak Gall is used to mordant cellulose fibers and fabrics before the alum mordant is used.

Tannin has a great affinity with cellulose fiber and once mordanted with tannin, alum combines well with the tannin fiber complex. Gallnuts from the oak tree are the earliest and richest source for natural tannin. They are produced by insects who deposit their eggs
