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. 1 Ounce. Egyptian Red
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: 1 ounce / 28 grams (approx. 4.25 yards / 4 meters). Beautifully packaged for gifting to yourself or the fiber lover in your life.
MANY MORE COLORS: We offer USA hand dyed BFL roving in an artist palette of 40 colors. For more color choices please click on the blue LIVING DREAMS YARN link above and explore our HAND DYED section.
Express yourself - make all your spinning and felting dreams come true with this exquisite hand dyed wool fiber! FELTING: Blue Face Leicester is UK'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: Blue Face Leicester is UK's finest, semi-lustrous wool 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 the size of your thumb!...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! Our fiber is locally milled, dyed and skeined by hand.
