Back to Wool - Imported Top & Roving
Merino – Light 19mic (Sliver)
$7.50 – $57.89
Classification: FINEWOOL
Carded sliver/roving with very little veg. A lovely ash-grey, lightly streaked with charcoal. This will create a nice heathered yarn and will be extra-fun to dye. At 19 microns, it’s nice and soft for against-the-skin wear. Merino is ever-popular with spinners and certainly being used like crazy by felters.
This supply has a staple length around 4 inches, which is fairly long for Merino. Felting properties are excellent.

Corriedale Cherry Red
Not a pinkish cherry, but rather a medium-dark red - the best red in the lineup we think. Dyed 30 micron Corriedale wool top from Ashford of New Zealand.
Fine Merino – Acacia
100% fine 19-micron Merino wool. Beautiful and clean combed top.
Very soft ivory-beige with a hint of apricot, a bit more yellowy than the photo shows. This should be useful as a "flesh" tone for needle-felted dolls and other 3D figures, but of course also great for general felting and spinning. The closest colour in this line to compare with Ashford's Corriedale Blush.
