What is Angelina Fibre?
Angelina is a decorative synthetic fibre made from reflective polyester. Unlike metallic fibres, it remains soft and flexible while producing brilliant highlights that catch the light from every angle.
It is designed to be blended with natural or luxury fibres rather than spun on its own.
Add sparkle to your handspun yarns
A small amount of Angelina can completely transform the appearance of handspun yarn. Mixed with wool, alpaca, silk or other fibres, it creates shimmering highlights throughout the finished yarn.
It blends beautifully with:
- Merino wool
- Polwarth wool
- Corriedale wool
- Alpaca
- Silk
- Bamboo and Tencel
Only a small percentage is usually needed to achieve a beautiful sparkling effect.
Perfect for felting
Angelina can be incorporated into both wet felting and needle felting projects. Applied between or on top of wool layers, it creates shimmering accents that enhance flowers, landscapes, animals and decorative pieces.
Ideal for blending
Blend Angelina while carding or preparing fibre to create custom batts with subtle or dramatic sparkle. It distributes easily throughout the fibre and remains visible after spinning.

Tips for using Angelina Fibre
Angelina is most effective when used sparingly. Start by blending a small amount with your favourite fibre, then gradually increase the quantity if you want a stronger sparkle effect.
It can be blended before carding, layered during felting or incorporated while preparing fibre for spinning. Because only a little is needed, each 10 g bag will enhance many different projects.
