Pencil roving is perfect for thick and soft accessories, such as comfy tube scarves, beanies and so on. Pencil roving is easy and quick to knit/crochet.
Pencil roving can be used as such, or for making products for felting. When knitting/crocheting products for machine felting, you should make them 20-25% larger than the finished piece. Pencil roving can also be used for interior decoration items, such as baskets, rugs, decorative pillows, seat cushions and so on.
The shades of the gradient yarn shift gradually and beautifully from one colour to another. The yarn consists of approximately 25m of each colour in turns. Wool roving is not dyed afterwards, but the gradient is created already during the carding process. No mothproofing. The wool has been dyed in Lappajärven Värjäämö.
