PENCIL ROVING is unspun combed top roving that has been pre-drafted to the size of a fat pencil. It is an even, soft strand, thicker than a bulky one ply yarn but thinner than regular wool for spinning. Pencil roving opens the door to beginner spinners as well as other types of fiber artists like weavers & felters. Package contains 4 oz (113 g). SPINNING - Perfect for beginning spinners using either spinning wheel or drop spindle. Pre-drafted pencil roving makes spinning easy - no fussing with the fiber, keep your eyes on the spindle & let your hands get into the rhythm! You will spin like a pro in no time! If you never dared to spin Merino or other finer fibers, this may be the perfect way to hone your skills. Staple length is approximately 2.75 inches (70 mm), 21.5 microns. WEAVING - Pencil Roving is much appreciated for the bold, billowy texture you can achieve with this fiber. Ideal for wall hangings that feature exciting variety in color & texture. Try it out with the soumak loop technique to get beautifully braided strands. FELTING & OTHER FIBER CRAFTS - Pure Merino Wool also felts beautifully. Ideal for felt painting, needle felting, wet felting, nuno felting & embellishing. MANY COLOR OPTIONS: Mix & match colors to create the fiber blend of your dreams. Ply two different colors together for a barber pole look or blend them before spinning for a softer gradient.
