Deep and regal, Cartwheel is a rich dark purple that commands attention with its jewel-toned intensity.

This melange Corriedale wool roving is hand-blended from deep purple and near-black violet tones, producing a dark, saturated purple with serious depth and drama. The melange blending creates subtle variation between deeper and slightly lighter purple fibers within the roving, giving finished work a velvety, dimensional quality. It sits firmly in the dark purple range — a clean, deep, cool-toned violet distinct from the warmer pink-purple of Cosmos.

Perfect For:

• Needle Felting - night skies, deep floral work, dramatic abstract scenes, and rich shadow accents
• Wet Felting - a bold jewel-toned dark for moody abstract and landscape pieces
• Spinning - produces a deep dark purple yarn with rich tonal depth from the melange blend
• Weaving - a dramatic jewel-tone accent in any bold textile palette

Pro Tip: Stunning for deep cosmic sky scenes alongside Andromeda and Comet, or use for dramatic floral shadow work and night landscape needle felting.
