Whirlpool - Bulky Corriedale Wool - Galaxy Melange Series - 16oz

Rich and dramatic, Whirlpool is a deep burgundy-red that pulls you in with its dark, swirling intensity.

This melange Corriedale wool roving is hand-blended from deep burgundy, dark wine, and rich claret tones, producing a very dark red with cool, shadowed depth. The melange blending creates subtle tonal variation between deep burgundy and near-black red fibers within the roving, giving finished work a dense, velvety quality with serious visual weight. It is noticeably darker and cooler than Pinwheel — closer to a deep wine or claret than a bright red.

Perfect For:

• Needle Felting - deep floral work, dark rose petals, moody abstract scenes, and rich shadow accents
• Wet Felting - a dark, sophisticated tone for dramatic abstract and landscape compositions
• Spinning - produces a deep burgundy yarn with rich tonal depth from the melange blend
• Weaving - a dark warm jewel-tone that adds depth and drama to any textile palette

Pro Tip: Pairs beautifully with Pinwheel and Cosmos for a full red-to-purple jewel-tone palette, or use alone for moody floral and abstract needle felt work.
