frabjous fibers: Kettle Dyed Wool Top/Rovings

Our fibers are handpainted with professional textile dyes, to create brilliant long lasting colors. We handle the top with care to ensure it is lofty and easily drafted. Spinning and felting are growing trends and these fibers work well for both.

We take extra care to create fibers that are a dream to spin. We start with high-quality wool top chosen for their softness and quality: a fine Merino Top and an easy to spin Blue Faced Leicester.. We dye the fibers in small batches using a special method that allows the colors to blend and shift, creating a complex colorway. We heat each batch slowly and handle it gently to avoid felting. This leaves a fluffy, soft, easily draftable wool that will spin into a lovely, complexly colored yarn. We think the extra care is worth it!

Choose from 14 colorways. Fibers are sold in 4 or 8 oz braids, unless you request for the fiber to be bagged instead. Select a top and color/colorway, all fibers are dyed to order and usually ship in 4-10 business days from date of order. Due to the nature of hand dyeing, colors may differ slightly from braid to braid.
