What is Angelina Fibre and how to use it in Felting

Angelina fibres

Angelina fibre is a type of synthetic fibre, which comes in many colours. All our Angelina fibres are heat bondable meaning you can heat them and they will fuse together.

The Angelina fibres are iridescent, shimmering and ultra fine, and super soft to handle They create an intense luminescent effect where light is reflected and refracted.

When heat is applied to the fusible colours, a luminescent web of non-woven fibres is produced.

Angelina fibres can be incorporated into textile work, machine embroidery, spinning, stitching into the surface, paper making, collage, card making, creating decorative bowls and panels, papier-mâché, modelling, appliqué, book covers, embellishments, and wool.
