Orange Wool Blend Felt, Benzie Reserve Color

Until otherwise stated this comment is about the felt generally, and not any specific color. I bought a great many sheets of the wool rayon blend felt, both to see the colors and have enough to see how it will block and otherwise behave. Honestly when I held the felt up to the light, I could see in many of the color’s thin spots. great care needs to be taken as well when stitching near the edges, as stitched too close to each other will become one hole. It benefits from a good strong stem ironing both before and after stitching. It tightens up a good deal and shrinks a bit, so be sure to steam it well before cutting. It blocks very well. Rayon shrinks more than wool with steam so you do want to take that into consideration when blocking. Every color I checked was color fast. As for the orange specifically, the color is wonderful and vibrant. It stands up to handling well and has an excellent finish and soft hand. I found it more difficult to cut precisely than most of the other colors.

Very good weight, easy to work with and beautiful vibrant color
