Malabrigo Nube Merino Wool Roving

Description

Nube

Spinners asked and we listened! Our ultra-soft merino is now available as an unspun top, in a selection of our most beloved colorways. It is truly a joy to spin, full of fluff and loft and unmatched softness! Of course, you can also knit with the roving itself for a uniquely fluffy effect, or use it for thrums or needle-felting.

Great for: Spinning, thrums, needle-felting, wet-felting, accessories, weaving, and other arts and crafts projects.

Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag. Skeins may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.

When we dye our yarns, the same formula is used each time but every batch of yarn is assigned a different dye lot number. The differences from one dye lot to another can be very subtle, or extremely noticeable, especially on variegated yarns.
When we assign a dye lot number the main use is to identify which skeins can be labeled and packed together. After our quality control team checks the skeins, they go to the labeling section and then are put in bags of five or ten (depending on the yarn).
Once the bags get to the yarn stores, most skeins go to different shelves where they can get mixed. The dye lot code is really helpful when you try to find skeins that match.

Unfortunately, we don’t have a record of which yarn store receives a specific dye lot and it’s impossible for us to find out where you can find the same dye lot skeins.

The colors shown in the photos are illustrated as a reference, as mentioned above, they can differ on more or less one tone, due to the hand-dyed process.
