Golden Wool Blend Felt

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 Gold specifically. I found the finish on the gold to be the best of any color, nd when I examine the felt under high magnification it had the densest fiber. it was actually very difficult to identify individual fibers. The color is the perfect color to use in goldwork embroidery. when I examined the stitching under high magnification the spread of the stitching holes was overall very minor, less than 10% and there was only one point in which two holes became one, that was at 1.5mm spacing. Overall rather good and I am generally speaking quite demanding as to quality.

The shipment came earlier than expected, neatly packaged with a custom card. Love the thought put into the product. The felt was great quality and was the exact color shown in the website.

I love shopping with Benzie Design. They have the loveliest of products, their prices are very reasonable, their shipping is lightning fast, and their packing is impeccable. This golden maize screams Go Blue when combined with the Oxford Blue!

Beautiful color for bouquets of every season!

I made some black eyed Susan’s with this and they are perfect! Just as I imagined them!
