Potluck Roving™
Our Potluck Roving™ is a unique carded roving which is made from fine wool (24 micron) that has first been combed to remove debris and vegetation, then dyed wonderful colors in small lots, and then carded again to make a true roving product. The re-carding results in roving not combed top, which is easy to draft and spin. Since the wool is dyed before being re-carded, there is no felting or compression of the roving. New spinners find Potluck Roving™ a nice product to learn on and experienced spinners love the ease of spinning this lofty wool.
There are 19 colorways, some a random blend of multiple colors, some are a striped roving.
Please see our color page for photos and descriptions.
Needle Felting
Our wool is perfect for sculptural needle felting creations and for embellishment of fabrics.This USA grown wool is a mix of fine sheep breeds and has a micron count of 24. It is combed and then dyed into wonderful shades. Our dying process offers unique color ways. The dye process returns the fiber crimp which conditions the wool top for easier felting.
