It's called "Soft Crimp" Angelina - and the Ice Dub folks have chopped it into smaller fragments. The vendor sent me samples of the 2" product, carve it into 1" segments and you've got Ice Dub - it dubs much better on thread than straight cut or other Angelina flavors.

"Angelina® fibers are available in a straight, deckle or soft crimp version. Due to the completely flat crimp, more light is reflected creating a subtle glittering or jeweled effect depending on denier used."

I have gotten Angelina in three different flavors so far; straight, hot melt, and crinkled (also called Crystilina). What I can't get is a decent manufacturers catalog of all the different flavors it's available in (as well as a complete list of colors) ... The company web site offers zero help. I trim the Angelina into the short lengths and mix it with natural fur (rabbit, muskrat, beaver, etc.) - which makes it very managable. I'm working on the manufacturer now - attempting to get a catalog of their offerings. The "Crimped" Crystilina is much more coarse and a larger fiber size, just like the stuff they use on the "flashabou" chenille. I'll pass on what I find shortly.
