    Default Looking for wool roving in Maine or NH or online

    Hi,
    Hoping someone can help me. I've discovered needle felting and love it. I've made a snowman and a little owl, so far. Now, I need more supplies. Does anyone know of a good place to buy more wool roving? I'm mostly interested in natural colors right now. Would like to try a penguin next!
    Thank you,
    lots2do

    Knitpicks.com has some: https://www.knitpicks.com/Yarns/Unsp...__L300129.html

    I think Paton yarns also have it but their website is down right now. yarninspirations.com

    There's a lot of it on eBay. Here's a link to just one listing:

    Dharma Trading also carries wool roving:

    and JoAnn Fabrics online has some too:

    Amazon also has listings for wool roving.

    Don't know what roving is, but the Dorr Mill Store in NH carries a large line of wool fabrics. Hope this helps.

    I don't know where you live in NH but in Harrisville, near Dublin, they have a 200 year old knitting mill and they sell fleece that is used for needle felting. I had gone there years ago and bought some in different colors and some were natural. www.harrisvilledesigns.com is their website
