These 100% Wool Rovings are available in a full spectrum of colors, some solid, some heathered. The rovings are made using predominantly dorset-type wool, a wool with medium fibre thickness and good durability. They are approximately 3 inches in diameter.   

Rovings (also called roping) are thick, continuous cords of carded wool for use in hand-spinning, hooking rugs and saddle pads, and felt making.  It felts well, and leaves a nice finish that is not too "hairy".  Because of its feltability, ir is very popular with needle felters:  it holds shape well and felts quickly.

This wool is 100% grown, shorn, and processed in Canada
