Moody and dramatic, Tornado is the fourth shade in the Shades of Grey Series — a rich, brooding medium-dark grey that brings depth, weight, and intensity to any project.

This bulky carded Corriedale wool roving is blended from a heavy proportion of black Corriedale fiber with a measured amount of white, creating a deep, cool dark grey that calls to mind the churning underbelly of a storm cloud moments before the weather turns. The color sits decisively on the dark side of the value scale — noticeably deeper than Windstorm — with dense, cool tonality and strong visual presence. Like all shades in this series, the hand-blending process creates natural, organic fiber variation that gives finished work realistic dimension rather than a flat, uniform appearance.

Perfect For:

• Needle Felting - shadow areas, deep fur shading, dark feathers, and dramatic sky gradients
• Wet Felting - adds visual weight and striking contrast in abstract or landscape pieces
• Spinning - produces a deep charcoal-leaning yarn with natural warmth from the fiber blend
• Weaving - a strong dark neutral that anchors color-blocked or tonal textiles

Pro Tip: Perfect for shadowed animal underbellies, dark storm clouds, slate rock textures, or as the deep contrast shade in any shading sequence using the full series.
