About this item
Dyed wool roving, often referred to as a braid, is a brilliant addition to your spinning stash. It offers a totally unique colour distribution compared to an art batt and can be split down lengthways and spun in a particular fashion to make a 'fractal' yarn. These are my very first attempts at dyeing wool tops. I'm happy that the professional acid dye is exhausting and that the water is running clear, the texture feels good and all test spins I have done have drafted easily however they aren't perfect so I'm offering them at a discounted rate until I'm satisfied with all aspects of the process. Please do get in touch with your feedback, I would love to hear how you got on spinning them! I have used lengths of natural fibre from a large quantity of lap waste for my practice, hence being unable to identify with certainty the fibre content, another reason for a slightly discounted price. Fibre weighs: 100g Colourway name: Oil on Water Wool: grey natural wool, slight lustre and crimp Suitable for wet felting, needle felting and spinning. Perfect for art yarn! Fibre sourced from reputable UK suppliers, from non mulesed flocks. Listing is for one length of fibre only. I have tried to represent the colours as accurately as possible, however all screens display differently. Please contact me if you have any colour queries and I will do my best to help.

Newly obsessed with needle felting, so just had to get some fancy wool! Come back for a 2nd order when I realised I'd not reviewed the first order, so that speaks for itself I guess!
Beautiful art batt, looks exactly like the photo, beautifully soft and a joy to look at. I will be getting more xx Thank you
The batts I received are beautiful. So soft and fun to spin with all the different pops of colour from the sari silk. I would definitely buy from this seller again. My batts were well packed and sent quickly. The hand written note was a nice touch. Thank you so much!
