This is my first experience with roving makeing a pair of thrummed mitten. It handled nicely. As a new user of roving, it seemed to work well. And for the amount of roving the price was good also.

I made thrums from the roving for slipper footbeds. The roving is soft and fluffy. It does have bits of grass that I've had to remove. I have not used any other brand, so I have nothing to compare against. I would definitely buy it again.
This roving is very textured and even still a little oily. At first it frustrated me (when I tried to control it), but then after spinning it woolen longdraw and letting it do its thing, I really began to enjoy it. Would not recommend for a beginner's first spin, as it is more difficult to control and could result in much frustration. I used the Golden Sun colorway and I love the little flecks of pink it in. My yarn came out soft & lofty and I just love the colors.
This roving is a very lofty roving and spins with a lovely tweedy effect. Because there is minimal carding it is very airy and the staple is short, but manageable. I would say that beginning spinners might want to put this on the 'once I learn list' however the more you spin the faster the list moves. I love the tweedy feel/look and it seems to like a little extra twist. All in all I would recommend this for spinning, or needle felting.
