Icelandic Roving consist mostly of Thel (very soft undercoat) with some Tog - (medium weight outer coat) unlike most commercially available Icelandic roving which are mostly tog (pretty coarse hand). We skirt off the britch and belly wool and parts of the fleece that have lots of hay/vm - keeping softness in mind for the final result in our roving. Icelandic roving is a good one for beginning spinners as it drafts more easily than super fine fleeces or Top. No chemical processing is used on our roving, only natural products. Roving from Icelandic Sheep is one of the best for felting - excellent for all felter's projects.
Wonderful for spinning, felting or craft projects!

Allow to go through spin cycles. Air dry, then brush if needed. 4- Dry in dryer set at 120° - or- air dry then put in dryer to fluff (with no heat). As the pelt dries, it may need some stretching.
