{"title":"Roving for Handspinning and Felting","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRoving is a loose, continuous strip of prepared fiber whose fibers are less aligned than in combed top. It spins into a lofty, warm, woolen-style yarn with more texture, and it felts easily. Good uses include sweaters, hats, mittens, blankets, and felting projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOur roving is sourced from small farms in New York and Pennsylvania. This roving is technically hand combed top as I comb it and then diz it off of my hackle. But I find that even combed, the fiber more closely resembles roving than it does top. However, it does spin beautifully! The products in this category are hand processed by me and may carry a faint scent of sheep. Because the processing is very natural and the fiber is both hand scoured and combed from a local farmers wool this is a very eco-friendly choice. I have dyed this fiber before and it dyes very well without any further washing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOur roving is more fragile than the mill prepared combed top we offer so this will be packed in individual 'nests' of approximately 1oz each. \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1056\/9400\/3360\/collections\/roving.jpg?v=1790554481","url":"https:\/\/www.floofandfiber.com\/collections\/roving.oembed","provider":"Floof and Fiber","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
