Soft and Sweet! These silky and lofty blends are inspired by childhood nursery rhymes and feature tonal and contrasting shades of dyed merino wool top blended with lustrous dyed shades of bamboo top. These soothing blends have all the wonderful temperature regulating properties of merino wool with strands of luminous bamboo for strength and luster, perfect for hand spinning cozy garments that are sure to last a lifetime of wear.
These enchanted rovings will breathe life into any spinning, felting, or blending project. Since the blend consists mainly of wool it will needle/wet felt with ease. With a long staple length of 3-6 inches, the vibrant multi-colors create a gorgeous heathered yarn when spun fine.
