Corriedale Wool Roving Top
Corriedale is lovely and popular wool that is a wonderful all-purpose fiber loved by spinners, weavers, felters, knitters and crocheters around the world. This is premium grade spinning wool roving, fine and softer than most other corriedale wools. Cruelty-free sourced, this reliable multipurpose organic wool roving is a pleasure to spin, knit, crochet, weave or felt.
Durable super-comfy wool with significant loft and distinctive crimp, Corredale is the optimal wool choice for sweaters, socks, blankets and other household textiles. The Corriedale sheep is a mix of Merino and Lincoln breeds and the wool produces an excellent fiber quality for core wool felting.
Much like cheviot wool, corriedale yarn for felting is a medium fiber and has a very well-defined crimp, and it makes a wonderfully bouncy DK or heavier weight yarn. While felters love it for its ability to easily needle felt & wet felt, knitters, weaver and crocheters will love it for its grippy-ness; colorwork and weaving done with Corriedale won't slip around or become loose.
