Despite its fine texture, merino wool handles very well on spinning wheels and drop spindles.

Crafters can use this 100% pure merino wool roving top to create their own handspun yarn, as well as for weaving, needle felting, wet felting, or tapestry art, all while enjoying the feel of the very soft wool.

Merino wool is the softest and finest wool in the world, with fibers (coats) that are the thinnest of any sheep, averaging less than 25 microns in diameter. This flexibility and fineness make merino wool the preferred choice for next-to-skin clothing worldwide. Furthermore, merino sheep need to be sheared annually for their health, and this wool is harvested without harming the animals. When the time comes to dispose of your merino wool project, it will naturally decompose in soil over time, releasing valuable nutrients back into the earth, acting as a natural fertilizer.

Merino wool fibers are naturally long and stronger than other breeds, which is important as it reduces the risk of the garment ripping, tearing, or wearing out quickly. Additionally, the natural crimp in merino wool adds stretchiness, increasing the resilience of the yarn fabric and loft, making the finished product warmer.

This merino wool roving is thoroughly washed, combed, and carded, making it ready for immediate use upon delivery. The aligned wool fibers are easy to work with and free of any harsh animal smells or vegetable matter.

Merino wool is an excellent choice for arm knitting, needle felting, wet felting, and spinning. Its fine, soft fibers make it ideal for next-to-skin projects, while its strength and felting properties make it suitable for a variety of crafting applications.
