matilda meltdown

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 19:44:42 -0700

a fiber batt made by matilda. she prefers to use odd fibers and clashing colors. Most of these batts are left partially uncarded or lightly carded so that when spun the texture appeal is greatest. Here you will find something uniquely original. Matilda will answer any requests about her batts, but she prefers to just shock and inspire you!
