Paradise Fibers 64 Count Merino Top Ecru/Undyed

I ordered a few pounds this time and this time I found more VM & in a couple spots so far (I'm probably through 1.5lbs) some flattened chunks of maybe caked mud or something else smoothed in with the fiber, and picking it out of the roving resulted in less neat top to dye and spin--not what I'd generally expect from commercially processed top. Still, this is a fantastic price if you order a pound or more, and it's great for trying out a new dyeing or spinning technique.

I just dyed some of this roving and it
turned out amazing. I will definitely be ordering some more of this one.
Thank you Paradise Fibers for being
so awesome! You have such great
prices on good quality products.

This is still..and will always be my go to roving. I love it..Super duper soft!

I was very pleased with this fiber! It is very soft to the touch and whiter & softer then the Ashland Bay wool top spinning fiber I purchased at the same time.

This is a good roving for learning to dye and spin. The price is awesome and its super soft. Its not one I prefer to use when selling my yarns. When spinning thick and thin the slubs don't come out as smooth as a pricier roving. i would definitely use and order this again though for certain projects

I'm delighted to have found such lovely merino at a reasonable price and I've since ordered a couple more pounds. I've dyed it, spun it, and spun it up undyed as well. I'm very pleased with the results and don't let the lack of "superfine" in the title discourage you--this merino is wonderfully soft against the skin!

This is such a beautifully soft roving! I am a relatively new (6 months) at needle and wet felting. I am discovering all the nuances between different sheep's wool, micron count and fiber length. This roving will be wet felted (nuno and other) for scarves...It's so soft, I am sure this will be perfect...I keep touching it on my face...so soft! Love it.

The only reason I gave the price 4 stars is because I got it on sale and I am not really rating the real price. Otherwise, The quality was so great! I got my roving and have not stopped rubbing my face and various body parts on it. It was my first purchase from Paradise and I am now a customer for life!

I dyed all this merino, it was PERFECT! Still super soft, Im loving it! Purchasing more today!

So silky looking even in the bag!! Dyed beautifully. I find myself wrapping it around my hand just to feel the softness!

I've always purchased Merino in a blend. This is so soft, I can't wait to blend it into some of my Romney fiber.

I've been blending some of this with other fibers to spin on my Mayan paddle spinner...will try dyeing for the first time with this and the BFL I just got. Again, thanks to Paradise for speediest shipping on the planet!

I have really enjoyed spinning this wool. It is easy to work with for a novice wheel spinner. I have been spinning the merino top with recycled sari silk for a beautiful yarn. The silk is a bit harder to work with so having the merino so easy to spin makes incorporating the silk much more enjoyable. Thanks for the great products and speedy shipping!

This was the first time I bought merino from paradise fibers. The fiber was silky and super soft. I blending it with some tencil that I bought here also and the two spun up so nice and easy. The shipping was super fast. I will be sure to buy more in the future.
I usually buy at fiber shows but will be sure to come back to paradise fibers again

I could not be happier with the quality and price for this Merino Top Ecru/Undyed wool. It felts beautifully and works wonderfully as a base in my felting and stitch artwork projects. I'll be ordering more!

I was able to blend with my angora from my rabbits. the fiber is easy to work with and it spins and dyes wonderful. love it I am a intermediate spinner and will get more soon! Is a great value also.

This is one of the first marinos i spun when i started spinning in 2008. This has been my go-to fiber for years. It is one of the nicest quality and softest merinos I have purchased. It is easy to work with and takes die fabulously.

I'm a new spinner and this is my first effort at spinning merino. It takes a bit getting accustomed, since previously I had only spun long wools. And for Merino this fiber runs long. Its so lovely though, not sure what I will make with the yaRn but its beautiful and soft. I may sleep with it.

This top was a treat for me to felt. It came together so fast and let a beautiful finish. I will be buying more in the future that is for sure.
It also mixed and blended well with a merino that I had on hand.
Would like to see some dyed results with this product.

I just loveeee this roving! Just started to use it for felting (previously for spinning) and works amazingly beautiful for that as well! Its soooo soft I often hate to use it because its just so nice exactly how it comes!

I am new to spinning and I was so pleased with this fiber when I received it the fiber that came with my learning kit is so hard to draw but this draws like silk I can't wait to try this in fact I'm buying more.

Before I bought this, I had always bought my sheep wool from the farmer, raw and unpicked. I'd get a pretty good deal on it, but I had to wash it, dry it, clean it, cut out the nasty parts and brush it out. In the end, it'd usually take me a good week to end up with wool that was ready to dye. For the amount of time this Merino saves me, however, I think just buying this already cleaned and ready to dye/spin may be the better deal. I'm glad I'm familiar with the process needed to make wool reach this point, but I think I'd rather just buy more of this stuff!

This is my "go-to" fiber. Such a value! It dyes well and spins easily. I have fulled and felted with this and it works beautifully with both. I keep buying this fiber as I am afraid of ever being out of it.

I don't know how you could offer such softness, dye-ability and Merino quality for such a good price-but I am not going to question you, just grab, dye and spin! I have been 'tickled' with all my wool purchases from Paradise Fibers. Thanks!

I started off spinning this fiber, and it made learning so easy!! And the end result was amazingly yummy!

The price for the fiber is extremely reasonable! I've seen this for for double/triple the price!

This is the second time I purchased this top from Paradise Fibers. So soft and lovely to spin with. Takes up dye pretty quick, so add more dye to your dye bath. I am sure I will order some more after spinning this stash up!

What a wonderful fiber and a wonderful price ;0) I was very happy with this. It is very soft and in my opinion the best wool for the price. It takes dye very well and is great for both beginners and the experienced. Also great for felting and wet felting, or just knitting/crochet on its own ;0)

I love spinning and dying this and it makes the softest mitts! This is my favorite wool so far. The best way to describe it is 'yummy' (although not edible).
The price is pretty good, but I would buy a lot more if it was a bit cheaper.

This is nice to spin and has a lovely soft bouncy feel.
Texture is soft.
Color is uniform white with a good shine.
Fiber is clean with little or no VM.
Good staple length.
Strong fibers.
Easy to dye/takes dye well in a uniform manner.
Recommended - would buy again.

I was satisfied with this product from the moment it arrived to the moment I tried on the finished sweater. This fiber is soft, squishy and so easy to spin. The price is fabulous for the quality. While not a super-fine merino, this wool is a great value. It was mostly clean, uniform in length, and easy to draft. It also felts beautifully and accepts dye well.

This is so squishy soft, can't wait to dye it and spin. Love love love

This was my first time buying roving...and I had no idea what i should get ...I checked the reviews and thought this would be a good choice...Its soooooooo pretty ..i didnt even want to dye it!...It is sooo soft!!! Will be purchasing this again :O)

Great price for a lovely, soft, squishy fiber. Takes dye well and drafts easily.

This fiber is so soft, and spins easily and uniformly on my drop spindle. The fiber is very clean and the price was good.

It took dye beautifully ad was a joy to spin

Super soft and nice to spin, takes dye wonderfully

I ordered five pounds of this merino recently, and when I opened the bag and grabbed a handful, it was like squeezing a marshmallow - so soft and bouncy. It drafts and spins beautifully and dyes wonderfully as well. This is my "go-to" fiber. Love it!

This might be one of my favorite top I have came across.
Drafting is so effortless and feels soooo nice.
Very soft, very white. Recommended.

Great product, easy to dye and spin

This beautiful fiber was so thick and fluffy soft. It was a breeze to work work and dyed like a charm. I would order this fiber again and again.

The softest and most affordable I have found Will buy again

I am absolutely in love with this roving. I just want to make a roving blanket from it! I love how it spins very easily on my spindle. Must buy, especially with the buy more save more offer@

This is one of the softest and easiest rovings to spin I love it

I received this fiber last week. It is so soft and a joy to spin. The yarn is wonderful and I can't wait to finish the spinning so I can knit a sweater.

I bought 16 ounces last summer to dye. It's got to be handled really gently to avoid the slight felting that can happen. That's just the nature of merino. It was pristine with no vegetable matter. Really nice fiber.

I have researched extensively and it is the best price with shipping for the specifications given. I have also seen several good reviews for this site.

Beautiful, soft fiber. It wasn't compacted when it arrived and has a wonderful handle. I will definitely be ordering this again!

Its a dream to dye, dream to spin and a soft pleasure to wear!!!
Love love love this roving!!!

This fiber was very nice. It was clean (with only the minimal veggie matter), not too compressed, and as soft as expected. It drafts fairly easily and cards up very nicely! The quality is uniform and the finished product is still fairly soft.

I would recommend this for beginning spinners and as a staple for everyone else. The fiber works great for felting soap, too! It still felt soft even after I felted the soap. I can't wait to order more!

When the package came at first I wasn't sure it was the one with my spinning fiber because it was so small. I pulled out the bag expecting the fiber to be compacted, but it fluffed up so nicely you would never guess that it had ever been shipped.
It dyes up so well, and spins smoothly even after dyeing. This is my go-to top for dyeing.

soft for the price! dyed nicely! cards into super squishy lovely batts!

Beautiful and so soft to the touch. It spins like a dream and takes dye beautifully.

I bought a lb. to blend with some black alpac fleece I had left over for a sweater. I liked it so much, I ordered another lb. for dyeing!

Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it's SOOOOOOOOOOOO soft! Can't wait to wear mittens lined with these.

arrived quickly and as described. very happy with my purchase here as well as with the customer service. thank you!

Excellent

I use this fiber a lot for spinning and other projects. It drafts very nicely and spins up fairly uniformly. Very soft and an excellent buy for the price.

wonderful fiber. takes dye nicely. very soft.

LOVE it. It takes dye lovely and it super easy to spin. My order came so fast. What a pleasure.

Using this product to blend with yak, alpaca and eventually, silk. It blends really well and adds strength and elasticity to both my yak and alpaca blends. I've spindle spun both 2 ply and singles and they came out beautifully. Dyed extremely well and vividly, too. Would purchase again.

I loved working with this. It was so soft and easy to draft

This wool is very soft. It's extremely clean with no shorts. It feels wonderful to my hands while I'm spinning. Thank you Paradise for such good quality. It was my first on line purchace of fiber and I was skeptical of what I would recieve.

like it

My favorite affordable Merino Top ever! I use it as a base in many of my home spun yarns!

This merino is softer and less spongy than some I've had. I love it! It takes dye really well, too.

I make a lot of art bats and fiber mixes and this merino is almost always a main component! It rocks!

I am making a hat out of my yarn. It is easy to work with, can't say anything bad about it. Great wool. Will buy again.

A beautiful fiber to spin with. Can't wait to weave with it. Would make a beautiful lace open weave scarf.

What beautiful fibre. I'm a very beginning spinner and was surprised at the quality and softness...I picked something inexpensive to practice with and have ended up with some beautiful yarn.

This fiber was SO wonderful to pet and spin. I dyed mine using food coloring and it dyed evenly with no felting whatsoever. I would describe it almost as spongy or squishy, it had a lot of bounce when I pressed on it or drafted it. Really this is a great fiber for a great price, especially considering I'm a college student. I love a good deal on a great fiber. With it being so soft, I would recommend it for anything next to the skin.

Wonderful squishy soft and easy to work with. Love this wool.

Takes dye beautifully and is wonderful to spin. It makes a lovely bouncy yarn, anything from laceweight to bulky. This is a very versatile wool that I LOVE to spin, especially long-draw from the fold. Knits up into warm hats, mittens, scarves, baby clothes,etc. I wouldn't make socks from it, because merino just doesn't stand up to the abrasion as well as other breeds of wool.

My sister is learning to use the drop spindle and she was very excited to receive this fiber and looks forward to using it very much.

Very soft fiber. Dyes easily and evenly. Easy for a newbie to dye. Spins up very soft.

The merino is a very nice product. It has virtually no VM, and accepts dye readily.

I bought this merino to dye and it is super soft! It dyes well and spins into a lofty, squishy yarn. It felts very easily, which can be good or bad!

There is a reason this fiber is so popular, it's cheap and high quality! You'll love the feel of this undyed merino fiber. It spins up nicely and is great for hand painting with the Country Classics Dyes or the Ashford Acid Dyes.

So soft, spins very nicely. Great value!

I just finished plying my first skein of yarn made from this merino, it's softness is unbelieveable! I had handpainted the roving, and it took the dye easily with absolutely no felting. I'm very pleased and will definitely be ordering more of this in the future. What a great fiber.

I just received a 1lb of the 64 ct Merino yesterday, this was my first buy from Paradise Fiber, it was super fast and the quality is fantastic, this will certainly become a staple roving for me, forget scouring when I can get it already done up this cheep!!!!

Tried some merino from a few other places, and this has to be the best. Dyes easily, minimal pilling, nice thick rovings. A staple for my spinning!

Lovely wool! Can't wait to start playing (both spinning and dyeing). Will take care with the dyeing as fine wools can felt very quickly.

This is a wonderful merino.I couldn't believe how nice is was for the incredible price. Very easy to spin and so soft. I'm a fairly new spinner and this is my favorite thus far.It dyed fantastic. And the price is unbeatable. I just placed my 2nd order for 4 pounds and am sure I will be placing many more in the future.

I've not yet had a chance to spin this merino, but it feels like clouds and drafts beautifully. I can't wait to try it out!

Added 1.17.08 I've now spun up almost 12 oz of this gorgeous roving, and will be using it as my base wool. It's wonderful, incredibly soft and smooth, the finished yarn is gorgeous, and it drafts perfectly.

This fiber is incredibly soft, drafts like a
dream and takes dye well. I absolutely love it, love the price and will definitely order more!

This is super soft and spins nicely, but be careful when dyeing- it felts VERY easily! Still- I'm buying more. :)

This stuff is exquisite! It is wonderfully soft, lovely to spin, and, after a full ounce, I've yet to find any VM in it. I will totally buy more of this to teach my students with :)

I really liked the ease of spinning this wool. the finished yarn is clean and soft. your price is a great deal for a ready to dye and spin fiber!

I bought a good amount of this to give to my sister and grandmother when I taught them to spin - it worked really well for them; was soft and consistent and wonderful. At this price, you don't have to feel bad for messing up.

Don't hesitate to buy this roving! A terrific price and great, super soft fiber. You won't be dissapointed.

It's at least as nice as the Ashland Bay roving, maybe nicer. Very soft and easy to work with! I love it!

At this price I didn't expect such good quality! Spins up oh-so-soft!!!

I received this roving as a gift, and now I'm back for more... absolutely lovely! and so soft...

This fiber is magnificant! It's so soft! I highly suggest it and would buy it again!

I love this fiber for felt-work. It locks up easily and the result is a soft, smooth surface and a strong, dense felt.

I love this roving! It's really soft, and is a really great price. I've dyed and resold quite a bit, and my customers are always pleased with it. I've spun it by itself, and carded it into some really fun blends.

Spins nice and dyes up even better.... best price around! I'm coming back for more. Oh, and did I mention that it is SOFFFFT!

This is excellent fiber, spins like a dream, takes dye just as well, comes out soft, soft.
