Back to Wool - Canadian Rustic Roving
Columbia (Rustic Roving)
$5.00 – $38.59
Classification: FINEWOOL
Thick and chunky Rustic Roving. Current batch contains a fair amount of vegetation.
A North American breed, fairly widely raised in the western US and Canada. The locks are blocky with a high crimp and fairly fine fibre diameter. Adapts well to both woolen and worsted styles of spinning, used for midrange and outerwear garments, including socks, sweaters and functional items.
Micron count is usually in the 23 to 31 range (comparable to Corriedale) with a staple length of 3 to 6 inches. Wet-felting properties are good. A good core wool for needle-felting.
