Q: IF U USED THIS WOOL*PLEASE HELP* I SEE 30 DE 1st PICTURE.8oz HOW MANY oz's MADE UR 30?I PLAN LONGER THAN 30in DE. KOOLAIDE DID WELL? HELP PLEASE!!

It took a while to figure out what you're asking. Someone used the yarn to make dreadlocks. She says she used up the whole eight ounces for 30 of them (I think). This would depend on the thickness and the length. Kool-Aid usually works very well with wool, and that seems to agree with the results she seems to have gotten. You need to add a bit of vinegar to the pot when dying. You could make the dreads as long as you want them. I bought this wool for spinning, and expect to dye it with Kool-Aid, but haven't finished spinning it yet.

Q: What is the approximate yardage of this?

Yardage isn’t a particularly relevant issue. Whether you are spinning or felting (or pretty well any other use of roving), what you care about is how much fiber you have (weight = 8 oz), because you are going to massively change the amount of air between the fibers and how they are arranged. If you start with 8 oz of fiber in a long narrow rather tight preparation, or if you start with 8 oz of fiber in a floofy loose short prep, you will end up with the same amount of yarn or felt or whatever at the end. How much that is depends on your technique.

Q: Where can I find curly Shetland wool for needle felting?

I found mine at doll shows and local farms.

Q: Softness compared to merino?

It is a very soft, very clean roving. I haven't had a chance to work with it yet but I'm looking forward to finishing some other spinning projects so I can. It is not quite as fine as merino but it is very close.
