Natural Coloured Wools

All wools listed here are of their natural colour.

All these wools are combed from selected high quality wool. The fleeces are hand sorted and the best parts only are used to make the combed tops. We think our natural wools are the best available. When looking at combed wools always compare price and quality.

The mixed blended tops are all produced by us with our own machinery. Many years ago we developed these blends and they have continued to sell well. If you would like to produce your own custom blend we will make it for you with a minimum order of only 500gms.

• All wools are available as sample packs - 50p each.

Tops and Roving. A confusion occurs in the use of these two terms. In the UK a top is wool that has been carded and combed and is usually about thick rope diameter. A Roving is the next stage on where the top has been drawn out to about pencil thickness and is the stage before spinning takes place. There is a tendency in the USA to call tops rovings and cause confusion with the UK description.

Have a look at our special range of New Zealand natural coloured wools. These are from a flock specially selected and processed for handspinning and felting

All the combed wools can be converted into carded batts approx 6ft by 2ft at a charge of £2.50 per 500gms. Please contact us for more details.
