• Premium Quality: This type of fine merino wool roving is an excellent choice for adding texture to macraweave projects. The Soumak weave and bubbling stitches look beautiful when choosing fine merino wool silver like this because it comes in one continuous ribbon length and is very luxurious. Soumak weave, also known as “braid weave” creates a raised texture effect by wrapping the weft yarn around the warp threads resulting in a braided appearance.
• Generous quantity: Each 30 gram piece is approximately 3.5 feet in one continuous ribbon length. For macraweaving, the length is often split down the middle which doubles the length. And for felting it is best to tear into 3 or 4 long lengths in order to get thin tufts of wool roving for layering.
• For Felting: This extra fine merino wool roving is wonderful to work with in felting. Using long narrow strips of roving, you can tear off thin and even tufts of wool that will intermingle well with each other and result in a nice strong felt.
