Wool Roving Hand Dyed. Super Soft BFL Combed Top Pre-Drafted for Easy Hand Spinning. Artisanal Craft Fiber Ideal for Felting, Weaving, Wall Hangings and Embellishments. 4 Ounce. Old Gold

Express yourself - make all your spinning and felting dreams come true with this exquisite hand dyed wool fiber! FELTING: BFL (Blue Face Leicester) wool is England?s finest felting fiber and compares favorably to Merino wool. You will find it easy to use no matter what your preferred method is. It is equally suitable for needle felting, wet felting, nuno felting and felted soap. SPINNING: BFL is a semi-lustrous longwool with a very soft hand and a micron count of 21-23. You will love this exquisitely soft combed top fiber that has been pre-drafted to thumb thickness...there is hardly any need to draft this fiber as it will quickly spin into singles. It is an excellent fiber for beginning spinners as well as experts. We recommend hand wash in cool water with like colors. The hand dyed colors we offer are well developed and reliable, but please be aware that this is a natural handmade product with slight variances...that is what makes this product so special! Your purchase of Living Dreams Yarn and Fiber products directly supports independent artisans, local farms and US fiber mills and their communities!

• HAND DYED TO PERFECTION: careful kettle dyeing in small batches allows us to create tonally complex, vivid coloring with nuances that can only be achieved by hand dyeing. We are proud to offer these variegated colors to discerning crafters who appreciate the unique qualities of hand dyed fiber. No two bags look exactly alike - if you are looking for industrially dyed solid colors this is not your fiber ;-)
• EASY SPINNING FIBER: we pre-drafted this super soft BFL roving to thumb thickness so that beginning spinners can concentrate on their hand movements rather than drafting. Made from the finest softest combed top available - you will quickly see why a lot of experienced spinners prefer BFL to Merino. Blue Faced Leicester is a longwool with a staple length of 3-4 inches with slight curl and fine crimp. It spins into a beautiful, lustrous yarn with great resilience. 26mic.
• IDEAL FOR MANY CRAFTS: from needle and wet felting to weaving, hand dyed BFL is sure to add pizazz to any fiber art project. It is particularly popular for adding a dash of color and texture to wall hangings and even super bulky knits and crochet.
• QUANTITY: 4 ounce / 113 grams (approx. 17 yards / 16 meters). Beautifully packaged for gifting to yourself or the fiber lover in your life.
