Design Your Own
Roving!
For all the
handspinners, roving that you design for your special handspinning project! You choose from a selection of
Ashland Bay Trading Company's fine dyed Merino, silky
Superfine Suri Alpaca (grown here in Kentucky of course!) and soft lustrous
Bamboo. You can combine any of the three fibers to create your own
blend. We craft your design into 4 ounce Center-Pull Bumps. Don't forget to
order two bumps - one 4 ounce for each bobbin so that you can ply them
together. Now you don't have to figure
out the weight for each bobbin.
Question: What are
Center-Pull Bumps?
Center Pull Bumps, or CPB's, are a joy to
spin with as well as a great space saver. The roving will glide
through your hands with virtually no pre-drafting! CPB's are formed
when the roving is wound
under tension onto a cylinder. The pull is from the center of the
cylinder. A 4 ounce CPB typically measures 10" tall and 4 inches wide.
