Taupe Domestic Romney Wool Sliver - 25DR

This is American Romney wool, scoured and carded into a continuous sliver with plenty of loft in a gorgeous soft grey-brown taupe that sits somewhere between driftwood and stone. Carded sliver is airier and a little more rustic than combed top, with fibers that run in more than one direction, so it builds body quickly and has a fuller, woollier hand. Romney is a longwool breed known for strength and luster, and this lot has a generous staple that holds together well as you work. The details: Fiber: 100% Romney wool, scoured Source: Grown in Missouri and processed in the USA Micron/Spin: Approx. 29 mic / 56s Staple: Approximately 4 to 5 inch length Color: Taupe (grey and brown) Sold by the pound or as a full bump of about 20 - 22 pounds and discounted to $17/lb - shipped as several mini bumps.
