Corriedale Top – Fresh from the Dyepot

Posted on September 25, 2010 by ThePaintedTiger

Need some lovely comfort spinning for the rainy days of fall?  I have ten new colors of Corriedale wool combed top, all gently  hand dyed.   I love to spin these from the fold, sometimes splitting the top longways first to shoot for mostly matching two plies, or spinning straight as is and either fulling the single or letting the yarn ply as it falls.  There are all kinds of possibilities here, from gentle color changes to great contrast.  Let your imagination run wild!

    Do you make your own roving or do you have it processed and if you have it processed where?
    Kindly,

      I have combed top, and I purchase it commercially so that I am able to offer the best possible prices. Roving is a prep that does not do well in dyeing…..the process smooshes out all the lovely air that makes roving great for spinning woolen yarns. Many people SAY they are selling hand dyed roving, but it is most likely combed top.
