How long is this roving?
Wool is usually sold per weight. But sometimes you want to know how long the wool roving is. We have calculated the roving length of the different packages below:
- 50 grams = approx. 2 meters
- 250 grams = about 10 meters
- 1 kilo = about 40 meters
- Bump of 4.5 kilos = approx. 180 meters
Please note that this is an approximation. The length can vary per type of wool, per colour or per production. And the harder you pull, the longer the roving becomes.
Would you want to make sure you get the wool roving in one piece?
We try our best to deliver the roving in one piece. But please count in that even when we try our best we don’t always succeed. Sometimes we have no choice but to deliver the desired quantity in two or more pieces.

SLEEPING IN THE GARDEN
Sleeping in the Garden ~ single printed pattern**
The flowers close their petals and dew begins to form. The bees retire. At last the garden sinks into a silent rapturous plushness...
Evoking garlands of drooping blossoms, the Sleeping in the Garden socks feature delicate trellises that appear to drip with colour as they run down the leg and instep. Knit from the toe up with short row heels and toes, these socks make use of simple lace panels for a quick and versatile knit adaptable to a wide range of sizes.
