**Super Soft Chunky Merino Wool Yarn for Arm Knitting – Bulky Wool Roving (4.4 lbs, Beige) – Perfect for DIY Blankets, Scarves, and Cozy Home Decor**

I knew this was roving when I bought it. That's what I wanted. But if you are expecting a "yarn" this is NOT what you want. Yarn is multiple spun strands which are plied (wound) together. Roving is combed wool fibers which are gathered into a loose sort of strand which is easily torn and separated. Roving can be used to spin yarn, but it is not yarn is this form. Reviewers who complain that this roving falls apart and sheds fibers are experiencing what roving is meant to be. It's a bit like complaining that your toaster won't dry your socks very well. Again, this is not a fat yarn. Even though people DO use it for "arm knitting" it is NOT a true yarn. This is roving which is intended for spinning into yarn on a spinning wheel, or for various felting crafts.A throw over a couch.Lovely color, structural integrity iffy pulls apart and sheds a lot. Some of the wool was not very held together that’s why I felted it. I felted it in the washing machine before knitting but still structurally iffy in some areas. I arm knitted a lap blanket and I only used about 3-4 pounds and have lots left and the blanket is heavy!I thought this product was too soft for wool when I opened, so I tested via the "flame" test and it became melted plastic. Do not purchase if you are expecting real wool.It would of be perfect if it didn’t shed so much. I won’t use the blanket because of it.That warning should of been in the description.I ordered this yarn to make a chunky blanket. It shed all over the place and looked as though the yarn was not processed completely. I am not sure if this is the way it was supposed to be, or if I ordered the incorrect type of yarn. If this is the case, I would love to know what the correct yarn should be ordered. I paid $100.00 for this item and feel it was not worth the money.Yarn was ok but the zipper case it came in was ripped along the whole bottom seam. I bought as a gift so I was very disappointed.It was easy to tear apart so when using it you have to be super gentle when unwinding the yarn or tightening anything. It ripped multiple times in the first 20 minutes of using it before I realized how careful I had to be. Once I got the hang of it though it turn into a nice blanket.
