From inky depths to a few starry white spots, this hand-dyed interpretation of the Cosmic Cliffs formation in the Carina Nebula was inspired by the newest space photography of the Webb Telescope. The primary tones are a deep cobalt and a warm copper, and the blending of dyes, tricks of heat and acid, and unique interactions of each fiber add exciting new undertones, highlights, and complements in every color for a truly cosmic finish.

Combed top, sometimes referred to as wool roving, is a commercially prepared fiber for spinning yarn and other wool crafts such as felting. Ours is carefully selected, hand-painted, and packed with care for you to spark your own creativity. This listing is for one 4oz braid of top.
