Spinning Fiber

Petal & Hank spinning fibers include braids of roving and combed top.

Our braids of roving are milled at a small mill in Wisconsin. You will often find heritage breed sheep in this lineup. The small fiber farm sourced wools used in this roving are naturally dyed in the fleece before being picked, blended, and carded. Fibers are brought through the mill slowly to retain fiber quality and create superior loft. This preparation is versatile and is especially well suited to long draw spinning a woolen yarn.  

The primary base for our naturally dyed combed top is an American grown and milled Rambouillet wool. Rambouillet is a fine wool that is next to skin soft and takes natural dyes with great luster and saturation. A combed top preparation is a good match for worsted style spinning, but can also be processed into rolags or spun from the fold to reintroduce loft and move it toward a more woolen style yarn.
