Staple lengths range from 4-6 inches. Coopworth Blend wool roving is great for beginners. Available in three shades:

Natural -1, Light grey -2, & Dark brown -4.

Corriedale Wool Top description:

Corriedale sheep were developed in Australia and New Zealand from a Merino and Lincoln Cross resulting in a wool that has a good crimp and long fiber length. Corriedale wool is relatively fine, having a wool count between 50-56, micron of 25-31, and staple lengths ranging from 3.5-6 inches. Well suited to spinning yarn, needle felting and wet felting.

Fine White Merino Wool Top description:

Merino is the softest and finest of all wools, with counts ranging from 64-70 and staple lengths of just over 3 inches. In addition to fine, fine, and more fine, merino fibers have a close tight crimp which gives consistent loft to spun yarn. Nice for blending, and wonderful for needle felting and wet felting. Micron count is 21.5.

In needle felting be careful not to use too large a felting needle so you don't leave visible holes.

Icelandic Top Wool Fiber description:

The Icelandic sheep, part of the oldest and purest breeds of sheep, is a cousin of the Shetland and Finn. The fleece is dual coated, with a fine undercoat called thel and a longer, coarser outer coat called tog. The tog fiber (fiber we carry) with a spinning count of 56's-60's, micron of 35 and staple length of 6-8" is lustrous, strong, and water-resistant. Available in 4 natural shades. White-1, Brown, Black-3, Grey-4.

Romney Wool Top description:

Nearly every spinner has spun Romney wool fiber at some time-many of us learned on it. Our natural white Romney wool top is sure to become one of your favorites. With a count of 44-48, tends to be a little coarser and has wider crimp than Corriedale wool fiber. The staple lengths range from 5-7 inches.

Please note - this Romney Fiber is carded and scoured but does contain some straw/vegetable matter. Each batch varies.
