I use wool roving for wet felting. This was so inconsistently batted, I wound up with lumps of wasted wool. Very disappointed.

Very dark brown, almost black

I needle-felt and am pretty particular about the wool that I use. I needed a pale creamy yellow which I found in this roving (apricot white). The color was perfect for my current project (felted autumn gourds). This wool feels like merino, though the description doesn't name the wool, so it is probably a blend, and merino would cost more, I think. The fibers are long and silky, which is great for wet-felting, but less so for needle-felting. When I have fibers like this I find it helpful to pull off lots of small sections and spritz them with water and allow them to air dry . This makes the fibers kink up again and makes them much better for needle-felting. I require a smooth surface for my work and this helps a whole lot. I am giving this product 4 stars because there's higher quality roving more suitable for needle-felting on Amazon which I use a lot, so I'm comparing this wool to the best that I've found on the site. That said, the price difference makes this a good value in spite of the fact that I have to add the step of wetting the wool to achieve my desired result. I should also mention that this roving is very clean and almost free of debris, which is a big plus. I will likely purchase from this seller again if my color needs call for it...though I will be careful to consider all the reviews on color differences. Happy crafting!

It’s nice wool but the color on the picture shows a darker or more saturated shade of brown, and it’s a lighter brown. More like a light coffee, oak or mocha. Definitely not the dark coffee color it shows.

The color is a little off from my locally sourced wool. Bottom wool in pic is new one. It comes very compressed. As you can see it puffed back up as soon as I opened it. I haven’t tried to form it yet but I think it’s fine.
