Extra Fine Merino | Suitable for Spinning & Fine Felting
Inspired by painters and colour composition, these Artist Blend rovings combine carefully matched shades into harmonious, melange-style colourways.
The different colours are combed together into one cohesive roving, creating soft, picturesque transitions rather than printed sections. The result is depth, movement, and subtle complexity in both yarn and felted textiles.
Available in colourways named after renowned artists.

Colour Blend Collection
Soft European merino lambswool prepared as a smooth roving and available in a range of beautiful colour blends.
These blends are created by combining several similar coloured and silver-coloured fibres before the roving is prepared. The result is a subtle marled or melange effect that creates depth and movement in both felted work and handspun yarn.
This medium-fine merino wool (approx. 27 microns) is sourced and processed entirely within the European Union. The wool comes from small-scale farms that follow organic farming principles, where animal welfare and responsible land management are a priority.
The wool is guaranteed mulesing-free and processed by an established European wool mill with modern quality control.
The fibres are combed into an even roving that drafts smoothly and works beautifully for felting, spinning and large-scale knitting.
Each roving contains several colours blended together, creating natural depth and variation.
These blends are ideal for:
• painterly felt surfaces
• textured handspun yarns
• natural colour transitions
• marled fibre effects

Wool roving is usually sold by weight rather than length, but the following estimates may help when planning projects.
| Weight | Approximate Length |
|---|---|
| 50 g | approx. 2 metres |
| 250 g | approx. 10 metres |
| 1 kg | approx. 40 metres |
Lengths are approximate and may vary depending on colour, fibre preparation and how tightly the roving is drafted.
This wool is not superwash treated.
Finished items should be hand washed gently in lukewarm water and dried flat. Agitation may cause felting or shrinkage.
