So, what is Angelina Fibre?
Well, its interesting to discover that these are iridescent soft shimmering ultra fine strands of Polyester that create an intense luminescent effect where light is reflected and refracted and they come in a wide range of colours and finishes and can be used to create all kinds of things including being used in spinning to add a bit of sparkle. There are two types; heat bond/hot fix and non-heat bond type. The heat bind kind can be arranged as you want on a piece of baking parchment, with different colours if you want, in patterns or randomly and you can even add in things like feathers or sequins. Place another piece of baking parchment over the top and iron gently on a low to medium heat to bond the strands together. Once cooled you can remove from the parchment and you have yourself an interesting piece or art or fabric for textile art, collage.
I have a few different colours, even the 4 white ones are different to each other - one sparkles with violet, another with gold etc. The generally come in 5g or 7g bags and it goes a very very long way!
