Windflowers — Hand-Dyed Wool Roving

4 ounces of hand-dyed wool roving in Windflowers, inspired by Windflowers by John William Waterhouse.

This colorway draws from the quiet symbolism and emotional restraint of Waterhouse’s painting, where anemone flowers—long associated with fragility, transience, and loss—become a meditation on impermanence. The palette reflects that mood with soft neutrals, muted florals, and atmospheric undertones that flow gently along the braid.

Dyed in small batches, Windflowers translates stillness and subtle movement into fiber. Layered color shifts create visual depth without harsh contrast, allowing the roving to draft smoothly while preserving expressive variation in the finished yarn.

Breed-Specific Details

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.
