Our natural, un-dyed Wool Roving fibres are the first choice for weavers looking to lessen their impact on the environment. Currently featuring 4 colours of Blue-Faced Leicester, a fibrous, textured wool roving that creates a rustic look when woven and our super soft, grey Merino, this growing collection of fibres is perfect for when subtlety is key.
Our Natural, Un-Dyed Wool Roving fibres are at the heart of many of our handwoven products and feature frequently in our Yarn Starter Packs.
Order the correct thickness and length as follows (contact us for longer lengths):
5g = 1/2 inch thick (0.5m) - Only available in small Yarn Starter Packs
25g = 1 inch thick (2m)
50g = 1 inch thick (4m)
100g = 2 inches thick (4m)
With these options you have the flexibility to choose the right weight/thickness for your project, avoiding unwanted breaks or overlaps in your design. No short and stubby fibres here!
Once split, the roving is then carefully wound into a bundle, avoiding twisting so that your fibres maintain their thick and bouncy texture.
* Please note * Due to the handmade nature of preparing your roving in this manner some differences may occur in weight and/or thickness.
