Corn (Ingeo) Fibers

We at Twice As Nice Designs, LTD, are excited to be one of the first companies to offer the newest and most unique crafting fiber on the market. It is all natural, no chemicals added and is one of the 'greenest' crafting products in the marketplace and is 100% machine washable. You'll have to see it and use it to believe it!

Ingeo(^TM) Yarn and Fiber is made from 100% corn grown and processed in the Midwest - USA! The yellow kernels of corn (not the corn silk) are cooked and the corn sugars are fermented in a process similar to making Yogurt. After fermenting, the water is removed and what's left looks like a crystal pellet. These pellets are sent to a textile mill where they are spun into fiber. The entire process takes place in the United States.

All of our yarn and fiber is handpainted and steamed. Your yarn is machine washable but can singe if an iron would be placed directly on it.


Corn Balls and skeins - -Prim: We offer an assortment of primitive colors in our five pack of yarn balls - fox red, fiery sunset, plum pudding, stormy skies and natural. Pastels - green, yellow, purple, pink and blue.  Brights - orange, yellow, blue, green and pink.  These fantastic yarns are also available in 150 yd. skeins.

Corn Roving - Soft as cotton but made of corn, this fiber comes in natural and three beautiful colors. Because of the fiber structure, this works great for needle felting, but NOT wet felting. Prim Colors: fox red, fiery red, plum pudding, natural.  Bright Colors: orange, yellow, blue, green and pink.  Pastel colors: green, yellow, purple, pink and blue. The following colors were consigned by and specially dyed for designer Elinor Peace-Bailey - fuchsia, orange, yellow, turquoise, chartreuse, purple.

Corn Crimps - At the textile mill, the crimps are add to the fiber to add loft when it is combed and carded into yarn. We carefully   removed some of these crimps prior to the fiber being made into yarn because they are FUN!!!  The crimps have many uses and just as many undiscovered ones! They can be used as wild hair, needle felted onto items, added to "wet" felt landscape projects (they look like water, sun rays, etc) but really they just make you  smile! Prim colors: fox red, fiery sunset, plum pudding, natural, earth brown. Pastel colors: purple, blue, yellow, pink and green.  Bright colors: orange, blue, yellow, fuchsia and green. The following colors were consigned by and specially dyed for designer Elinor Peace-Bailey - fuchsia, orange, yellow, turquoise, chartreuse, purple.
