<p><b>Corriedale Wool Roving Top</b> <br /> <br /> Corriedale is lovely and popular wool that is a wonderful all-purpose fiber loved by spinners, weavers, felters, knitters and crocheters around the world. This is premium grade spinning wool roving, fine and softer than most other corriedale wools. Cruelty-free sourced, this reliable multipurpose organic wool roving is a pleasure to spin, knit, crochet, weave or felt. <br /> <br /> Durable supercomfy wool with significant loft and distinctive crimp, corredale is the optimal wool choice for sweaters, socks, blankets and other household textiles. The Corriedale sheep is a mix of Merino and Lincoln breeds and the wool produces an excellent fiber quality for core wool felting. <br /> <br /> Much like cheviot wool, corriedale yarn for felting is a medium fiber and has a very well-defined crimp, and it makes a wonderfully bouncy DK or heavier weight yarn. While felters love it for its ability to easily needle felt & wet felt, knitters, weaver and crocheters will love it for its grippy-ness; colorwork and weaving done with Corriedale won’t slip around or become loose. <br /> <br /> <b>Key Characteristics</b></p> <ul> <li>Staple length 3-5 in (roughly 90 mm)</li> <li>Micron count 25 – 30</li> <li>Ethically sourced, Cruelty free, environmentally safe processing</li> <li>Gentle to the touch and makes a wonderfully bouncy DK or heavier weight yarn</li> <li>Preferred choice for beginner and advanced crafters alike</li> </ul> <p><br /> <b>Popular Project Uses</b></p> <ul> <li>Hand-spinning with a spinning wheel or drop spindle</li> <li>Create socks, hats, gloves, shawls, rugs, and other housewares</li> <li>Create chunky jumbo yarn arm-knit blankets and/or pet beds</li> <li>Great for weaving and tapestry art projects</li> <li>Perfect for felting projects both wet felting & needle felting</li> </ul>
