Ballerina - Cloud Roving

Cloud Roving is a 5-strand pencil roving yarn which I rescued from the warehouse closure of a historical sweater factory. Although it matches 1-to-1 in terms of weight with Briggs Country Roving, this yarn was wound into large rolls and appears to be spun from a finer grade of wool. Experienced knitters may find that it pairs well with discontinued pencil roving yarns like White Buffalo and Chinook.

Large balls of Cloud Roving weigh approximately 45-55 grams and should have roughly 40 yards of yarn. Small balls are 25-30 grams and have roughly 20 yards of yarn.

Because each ball is hand-wound after drying, these measurements are not precise.

All pencil roving yarns can be plied, and any number of strands can be used for spinning, felting, , weaving, knitting or crochet.
