Wonderful Wool - Fibers
| Merino Top Merino is the softest and finest of all wools, with wool counts ranging from 64-70 and staple lengths of just over 3 inches. In addition to being very fine, merino fibers have a close tight crimp which gives loft to spun yarn. Our merino top is especially white and thus great for dyeing with the Wash Fast Acid or Country Classic Dyes. |

| Coopworth Roving Coopworth is a breed of sheep which results from the inbreeding of Border Leicester and Romney breeds in New Zealand. Coopworth fleece is characteristically silky and easy to spin. The fibers are strong and medium coarse in texture; wool counts range from 46-50. We highly recommend Coopworth roving for beginners. Because it is carded roving instead of combed top, it won't slip through your fingers as quickly. Available in four colors: 1-white, 2-light grey, 3-medium grey, and 4 dark grey (brown). |
