Back to Wool - Imported Top & Roving
Romney – Light Grey (Roving)
$5.00 – $38.59
Classification: LONGWOOL
Clean, carded and somewhat chunky roving with very little vegetation. Light grey in colour, marled with softer ash-grey and dark-grey throughout, and just a hint of brown. Romney is a longwool with a good crimp and relatively short staple and slight sheen. It spins well either woolen or semi-worsted styles. Suitable for midrange to outerwear. Being roving this has excellent loft which many needle felters love.
Micron count on this fibre is around 36 (but it feels softer) with a staple length of 4 to 5 inches. Felting properties are very good.

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.
