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. Ivory – Almost white, a white-blonde, “towhead”
2. Saffron 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. Raw Umber – a dark, rich beautiful brunette
6. Nutmeg – a subtle blend of earthy browns, a very good medium brunette
7. Cumin – Light Golden Brown with subtle gold highlights & a hint of auburn.
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:
Looking for a good tree trunk color? Try Hazelnut or Nutmeg.

Wool Roving: The Hair Color Collection
Eight different true-to-life hair colors!
This 100% wool roving is excellent for small dolls or baby dolls when you want a truly natural look. The fibers are much finer than yarn, which makes the hair look “real.” It can be attached to your doll’s head in several ways: Sew down the center to create a part, then glue or sew onto the head; or needle felt it directly into your cloth doll’s head. It can be easily styled into braids or pigtails. (This is the type of hair we use on our tiny Flower Fairy dolls.) This collection of earthtones includes eight colors for all stages of life: Auburn (nutmeg), Black, Dark Brown (chocolate), Light Brown (cocoa), Redhead (pumpkin), Golden Blonde (camel), Aging Brunette (brick is a blend of the browns and auburn with light streaks of grey) and Silver-Gray (smoke). You will receive a 12” length of each color, for a total weight of 55 grams.

Bulky Felting Yarn/Pencil Roving Assortment
100% wool, over 90 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 29 yards of nine beautiful, vibrant colors (approximately 3¼ yards of each): Black, White, Orange Poppy, Tundra Green, Bermuda Blue, Red Rose, Garnet, Iris and Violet.
Our low price is $5.89

Pastel Princess Collection
Wool Wisps™ 100% Wool Needle Felt Roving
This is a densely compacted, short-stapled roving (meaning the length of each fiber is about 1-1½” long) that is excellent for any felting method, but has been especially designed for needle felting. Because it has been created and used to manufacture yardage of wool felt fabric, it felts extremely quickly and easily into a beautiful “boiled wool” look. Due to its composition, not much is needed to cover large areas. In each collection, you will receive approximately ¼ ounce each of four different vibrant colors (about 12” of each color). The Pastel Princess Collection contains Pink Lemonade, French Lilac, Powder Blue and Pistachio. The Crayola Brights Collection includes Pacific Blue, Marigold Yellow, Chile Pepper Red and Tangerine Orange.
