Split Rock Ranch
Custom HandDyed Rovings
We now offer our beautiful colorways in several types of rovings:
100% Merino 64's (this fiber is next-to-the-skin soft and is a joy to spin)
70% Merino/30% Kid Mohair (this fiber is next-to-the-skin soft with loads of luster, takes dye very well for brilliant colors and is a joy to spin)
100% Domestic 56's wool (this fiber is nice and soft and a breeze to spin)
100% Mohair (spins best into a finer yarn with loads of luster, strength and brilliant colors or card with other fibers)
NEW 100% Superwash Wool (this fiber is next-to-the-skin ultra-soft)
NEW 70% Merino/30% Tencel (this fiber is next-to-the-skin soft with lots of luster and beautiful drape due to the tencel)
The two superwash rovings are perfect for making sock yarns or yarns for anything that you want to be able to wash without the worry of felting.
You can needle felt or wet felt with any of the rovings that are NOT superwash. Hand wash your finished garment in cool water, reshape and lay flat to dry.
Each colorway is hand dyed to create a unique work of art that cannot be duplicated exactly so each roving will vary, even in the same dye lot. We are creating new colorways constantly so we will add new colorways at the end of this page as they are created and alphabetize later. Please email with any questions or special requests. You may also send a photo or request special colorways custom made just for you - email us for more information.

Please email us with the colorway you'd like to order, the type of roving and the number of ounces you'd like to order. Rovings are dyed in 2 ounce lengths - 8 ounces at a time so orders larger than 8 ounces will take just a bit longer to prepare and will be done in multiple dye lots that may vary slightly.
