This is a hand painted roving, or more properly combed wool top, for hand spinning and felting.

This braid is in shades of green, gold, pink, purple and yellow.

This wool is a blend of 80% Merino, the softest of wools, with 20% tussah silk, for additional shine, softness and luxury.

Our braids are dyed with fairly even distribution of colors. Photos are of each side of the coil, so you can see as much of the color as possible. These are the same braids from which I spin my yarns, so I dye them for that.

We name our braids based on the inspirations we get from the colors, drawing on nature, literature, mythology, geography, and our lives and travels. Braids with the same name numbered sequentially are a matched set that were dyed together, although they may have different weights and look slightly different in the photos. Each colorway is unique; we may sometimes repeat names, when a new colorway strikes us the same way as an older one.
