Corriedale Combed Top, Felting Wool Roving

With an even and defined crimp, Corriedale is a smooth and easy fibre to spin and is a popular choice for felting. Although not as soft as our Merino range due to the higher micron count, the Corriedale tops still have a soft and fluffy look which also makes them a great option for weaving and is also why it is so sought after for spinning and felting projects.

Our Corriedale combed wool tops are from 100% New Zealand sheep. The sheep are pasture-fed and are well cared for and from non-mulesed flocks. The process from sheep to you includes being scoured (washed), dried and dyed before being opened and conditioned, carded to remove any foreign matter and to align fibres. Lastly it is gilled and combed. Complying with Okeo Tex-Standard 100, a strict EU regulation for dyeing, this gives you the peace of mind that your fibres are also ecologically safe. The Corriedale tops have an micron count of approx. 27-30.

Corriedale is great for spinning a fine to medium woollen, worsted or semi-worsted yarn. Corriedale will bulk after washing and has good elasticity. It is ideal for baby  wear, woven, knitted or crocheted garments.

For felting it works wonders for wraps and more robust items such as slippers, hats and bags.
