Wool Roving is a fiber artist’s “chocolate!” This long-stapled, rope of 100% pure, luscious, soft merino wool roving is what makes traditional wet and dry needle felting such a sensory, pleasurable craft! The colors in our collection are yummy and the uses are many, such as for doll hair, color blending and adding highlights to wet or dry felted creations, embellishing handmade fiber art, creating “Magic Wool” pictures, spinning custom yarns, and for use as an embellishment in weaving or sewing. (Do you have a felting machine, such as the Embellisher by Baby Lock or the SWN Fab Felter? Then you will have a ball playing & inventing with this roving!)

One frequently asked question is:
Which colors would you suggest for natural looking hair colors?
We suggest the following from our collection of individual colors:
1. Natural or Off White – Almost white, a white-blonde, “towhead”
2. Gold – a bright Strawberry Blonde
3. Black – a solid coal black
4. Hazelnut – I think of this one as a brunette going gray. Great for parent or grandparent dolls!
5. Chocolate – a very good medium brunette
6. Caramel – Light Golden Brown with subtle gold highlights.
For mermaid dolls and other fantasy creatures, you might want to consider Midnight Blue and Garnet. These both contain a subtle blend of jewel tones in a base of either blue or deep dark red.
Other color suggested uses:

Bulky Felting Yarn/Pencil Roving Assortment
100% wool, over 80 feet in total length
A Silver Penny exclusive!
This is the most ingenious product because it has multiple uses for felting. This 100% wool bulky yarn is very loosely spun and, used directly from the package, is wonderful for needle or wet felting. But untwist it slightly and it becomes pencil roving. Twist just a little tighter and the yarn becomes thinner for more precise placement and crisp lines. The uses of this product are varied – it is perfect for clothing embellishment, creating wool pictures, fashioning or outlining a needle felted motif, making felted jewelry, enhancing 3-D needle felted sculptures or use when only a small amount of color is needed. This assortment package contains a total of more than 27 yards of nine beautiful, vibrant colors (approximately 3 yards of each): Black, White, Orange Poppy, Tundra Green, Bermuda Blue, Red Rose, Garnet, Peacock and Violet.
Our low price is $5.95
