Ivory Merino Wool Roving | 4 oz

Australian Merino Wool Roving

Soft, springy, and a little bit magical, this Australian Merino wool is a joy to work with—whether you’re spinning, felting, blending, or simply petting it while you plan your next project. At 21 microns, it’s wonderfully gentle on the hands and kind to beginners, without losing the structure experienced makers appreciate.

With its natural crimp and lively bounce, this Merino wants to be played with... And you know you want to play with it too. It drafts smoothly, blends beautifully, and forgives the occasional wobble along the way. Cozy, versatile, and quietly hardworking, it’s the kind of fiber that makes you want to slow down and enjoy the process.
