i was ever so pleased with product. Loved the colours and found it easy to spin, as an older person with arthritis in both hands this was quite easy. I think the trick is to tease out before hand. Some has been knitted into winter beanies, very pleased with results. Looking forward to using it in more projects. Cheers Carol

Not only getting back to weaving but also spinning, this merino roving was very easy to "fluff " before spinning. Loved the colour mix and used with tencel , has woven up to a soft almost tweedy look scarf. Very happy.

Another nuno felted scarf which I’m very happy with. Arco irises this time, heavenly soft and a pleasure to wear ✨

I did see this fibre being spun by someone I know, and knew I had to have it. I was glad it was available.
Marion F.
The fibres are a bit stiff to separate initially due to dyeing process. However, it spins up easily.
Chris M.
Loved opening my first package from Thread Collective, luscious colours in Nube Malabrigo are just as beautiful in real life as in your photos.
Didn’t realise the fibre is from Uruguay until I saw the label - perhaps also include info on where the fibre is from on the website?
Sarah T.
Perfection in wool form.
Yvonne A.
RECEIVING MY PACKAGE WAS THE BEST THING, NOT SPUN ANY OF THE WOOL AS YET BUT IT FEELS AND LOOKS SO NICE. ARRIVED ON MY SPINNING DAY WITH THE GIRLS, THE ALL SAW WHAT I RECEIVED, THEY TOOK DOWN YOUR DETAILS AND WILL GO ONTO YOUR SITE IN THEIR OWN TIME.

Love the colours and the item will be perfect for our weaving project!
