Is this fibre a wool top or a roving?
If you didn’t already know, there is definitely a difference between combed wool top and roving. Both are often used to represent the same item, but they are quite different. In fact, I am inserting this explanation here so I can use the expression “wool roving” correctly and still please the search algorithm gods. Sneaky.
Combed wool top such as this are processed in the mill to remove the short fibre staples, and all the longer remaining fibres have been combed to face the same direction.
Wool roving, on the other hand, still retains some shorter fibres and not all face the same direction, so it will have a fuzzier appearance.
Both are fantastic types of fibre processing, they’re just different.
A little colour disclaimer
I’ve done my very best to ensure colours show true, but please bear in mind your monitor settings might differ from mine.
