Corriedale Pencil Top

Corriedale is medium-fine, soft and well-crimped. The longer staple length of the fibre makes for easy spinning. It is also well-suited for needle-felting due to the fibre diameter and the springy nature of the wool. It may also be used for wet felting.

Corriedale is a great multi-purpose wool. Soft enough for a garment, and good for both types of felting.  This pencil roving is a much narrower rope of spinning fibre.  It is actually "top", meaning that the fibers have been combed.  The short bits are removed and the fibres are all aligned parallel.  I often recommend this wool for new spinners.  It has a longer fibre, so it's easier to spin, and the resulting yarn is soft enough to be useful for garments.

Corriedale Pencil Top is sold in 100 gram and 200 grams portions.

(100 grams = 3.52 oz. and 200 grams = 7.06 oz.)
