TLV (UK) Ltd was formed in 2003 to import and supply high quality Norwegian carded wool for felt making and spinning. Our Norwegian supplier Hifa has been producing carded fleece for felt slippers since 1930. As well as the natural wool, in the 1980s they started to produce dyed fleece in 100% mothproofed coloured batts. A full batt is about 1 m width x 3 m length (approx 3 kg). Since then their production of coloured wool has grown steadily.
Norwegian wool felts easily and retains its quality of colour in the felting process. It is very versatile and can be used to make a lightly-felted but strong fabric. When fully felted it is very strong and tough.
Norwegian Wool is a very popular fleece for clothes, shoes, sculptures/figures, decoration and pictures. It is excellent for feltmaking workshops, courses in feltmaking, craft sessions in schools and as a spinning wool.
We also import merino tops from Hifa to their very high quality standards. This is of Australian origin and is a soft and lustrous wool with very fine 21 micron fibres.
