Kap: This is super-fine lamb’s wool is sold in four ounce balls or braids. It’s a favorite for wet and needle felters. Nuno felters will love this combination.

If you’re an expert spinner and can handle a short draw (or draught), similar to cashmere and cotton, then give this luxurious roving a try. You won’t be disappointed.

One four-ounce ball spun into yarn will make a hat, or fingerless gloves.

Two four-ounce balls will make a nice pair of knee-high socks, or an infinity cowl.

To spin enough yarn for an adult woman’s sweater, with no cables (a basic raglan), you will need two pounds of roving (8 four-ounce balls).
