Soft, flowing colour and beautifully smooth fibre — this fine Merino roving combines three harmonious shades in each braid, creating depth and gentle transitions in your spun yarns and felted work.
With a micron range of 21–27 microns, these rovings are soft, easy to draft, and versatile across a wide range of textile applications. The finer colourways offer exceptional softness, while slightly higher micron blends provide a touch more structure without sacrificing comfort.
Each colourway has been carefully composed to create movement and subtle variation, whether spun into yarn, felted into textiles, or used in larger fibre art projects.

Multi Colour Collection
Soft European merino lambswool prepared as a smooth roving and available in a range of vibrant multi-colour combinations.
Unlike blended fibres, these rovings feature long colour transitions within the fibre, creating striking colour changes when spun or felted. The result can be bold stripes, soft gradients or painterly colour movement depending on how the fibre is drafted.
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 projects.
Each roving contains several colours arranged in longer sections, creating natural colour transitions in finished work.
These fibres are ideal for:
• variegated handspun yarn
• colour-shifting felted surfaces
• striped or gradient effects
• expressive textile art

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.
