Product Detail

Our roving is hand dyed in the USA by Frabjous Fibers. It comes in an 8 oz. braid.

Frabjous Fibers takes extra care to create fibers that are a dream to spin. They start with high quality wool top. This one is Polwarth. It is soft, lofty and has a spring you'll love. They dye the fibers using a special method that allows the colors to blend and shift, creating a complex colorway. Each batch is heated slowly and handled gently to avoid felting. This leaves a fluffy, soft, easily draftable wool that will spin into a lovely blended yarn.

Spinning: Polwarth is fabulous to spin and sure to be one of your favorites. This breed originated from Merino and Lincoln sheep. Like merino, it is soft and springy, yet spins easily like a long-staple fiber. Hand dyed colors vary slightly from braid to braid. When spinning yarn from more than one braid, mix the fibers up as you go for the best color distribution.

Felting: Polwarth is ideal for felting. The loftiness of the fiber allows it to easily pull off in fine wisps to create delicate felted items. It resists pilling and holds its shape well making it a good choice for vessels and wearables.
