Frequently Asked Questions
Corriedale wool vs Merino wool: Which is best for needle felting?
When comparing Corriedale wool vs Merino wool, Corriedale (25โ35 micron) is generally preferred for 3D needle felting and core sculpting because its springy crimp holds shapes firmly and felts rapidly. For fine surface detailing or soft felted wearables, merino wool roving in Australia provides a sleek, velvety finish.
What micron counts do your Merino wool rovings come in?
Our Merino wool rovings range from ultra-fine 14.5 micron up to 35 micron. The 19 to 23 micron tops offer an exceptional balance of silky hand-feel and vibrant dye absorption across both solid and space-dyed shades.
Can I mix Merino and Corriedale fibres together in spinning or felting?
Yes! Carding or hand-blending Merino and Corriedale together combines the silky softness of Merino with the structural bounce and strength of Corriedale, creating balanced yarns and durable felted textiles.
Where is your Merino and Corriedale roving sourced?
Our Corriedale and Merino are ethically sourced from industry-leading fleece processors including Ashford (New Zealand) and World of Wool (UK), ensuring animal welfare standards. For spinners seeking raw, uncarded fleece, we also offer unwashed raw sheep fleece straight off local farms in Young, NSW.
