Undyed Cheviot Combed Wool Top – Spinning & Felting Fiber

Springy Cheviot Combed Wool Top for Spinning, Felting, and Dyeing

This undyed Cheviot wool top is a resilient, medium-grade spinning fiber valued for its elasticity, durability, and distinctive crimp. Prepared as a combed top, the fibers are aligned parallel and the shorter fibers removed, creating a smooth preparation that drafts steadily and spins into strong yarn.

Cheviot wool is known for its helical crimp, which gives the fiber a lively bounce and natural memory. Yarns spun from Cheviot tend to hold their shape well, making it a practical choice for garments and textiles that benefit from structure and durability.

Naturally light cream to off-white, this fiber can be used as-is for natural wool projects or as a base for hand dyeing with acid dyes and other protein-fiber dye methods.

With a medium micron range and longer staple length, Cheviot drafts smoothly on both spinning wheels and drop spindles while also felting reliably for needle or wet felting projects.
