Rewards
I know all obsessed...I mean...dedicated, all dedicated crafters are always looking for fun new crafts to fall in love with doing. We here at Darn Good Yarn want to support all of your crafty experiments, and that's why we carry fun products like silk roving and llama roving!
- Multicolored Silk Roving
In case you don't know, "roving" is what any fiber is called after it has been cleaned and combed, before it is made into yarn. There are many fun crafts you can do with silk roving. For instance, you can knit or crochet with silk roving directly, no spinning into yarn required! This is made especially easy with our "pencil" silk roving (about the width of a pencil!) because it is just the right size.
- Magenta 'Pencil' Silk Roving
Your knit or crocheted piece will be especially soft and fluffy! You can even make your own 'pencil' silk roving from fiber batts or wider silk roving.
Knitting or crocheting directly with roving isn't enough of a departure for you from your regular crafts? Don't worry, there's so much more! For example, you could try your hand at Nuno felting. Nuno felting combines wool and silk to achieve gorgeous effects. You can use our llama roving and our lovely reclaimed silk saris here to create scarves or shawls of any size!
But we can't ignore the classics! The most common use for gorgeous silk roving? Spinning your own yarn!
- Sari Silk Roving
You could add sari silk roving in with other fibers to give a pop of softness and color to the yarn you are spinning. You could spin your silk roving into whatever weight of yarn you choose.
I hope these ideas have inspired you! Remember to check out silk roving, llama roving, and lots of other spinning and felting supplies listed under "Tools & Accessories" here at Darn Good Yarn!
Happy Crafting!
