Bird Superior — Hand-Dyed Wool Roving

4 ounces of hand-dyed wool roving in Bird Superior, inspired by Bird Superior by Leonora Carrington.

This colorway draws from Carrington’s surreal narrative and symbolic tension—where myth, quiet defiance, and unexpected detail coexist. Cool atmospherics, grounded neutrals, and restrained contrast move intentionally along the braid, creating depth without chaos. Color placement is deliberate, allowing shifts to emerge naturally through the spinning process.

Dyed in small batches, each braid contains subtle variation that supports expressive spinning and honors the original work’s layered, dreamlike quality.

Breed-Specific Details

Falkland
Smooth and soft with an easy, even draft. Produces a round, balanced yarn with excellent versatility. Well-suited for consistent singles and multi-ply yarns.

Merino
Exceptionally soft with a fine, dense crimp. Drafts smoothly and spins into soft, elastic yarn with beautiful drape. Ideal for next-to-skin projects and spinners who love a plush hand feel.

Rambouillet
Springy and elastic with a denser feel. Drafts best with a controlled hand and produces lofty yarn with strong memory. Ideal for socks, hats, and textured stitches that benefit from bounce.

Romney
Sturdy and durable with a longer staple length. Drafts smoothly and spins into a strong, textured yarn. Excellent for weaving, outerwear, felting, and projects where structure and durability matter.

Targhee
Soft, bouncy, and forgiving to spin. Creates plush, lofty yarn with warmth and elasticity. A great choice for next-to-skin wearables and cozy garments.
