December Roving

Each of these rovings comes in an eight ounce ball. The fiber is dyed before it is carded into roving to ensure there will be no matting caused when fiber is dyed after it is carded. All of the llama and wool used is from Michigan herds and flocks. The mohair and silk is from other sources. The fiber was washed with an organic soap and dyed with Jacquard Acid Dyes using Citric Acid to set the color. Each batch is done only once, so if you find a color and blend you like, please make sure to purchase enough for the project you have in mind. It is unlikely that any blend will be repeated. These roving are only sold in the eight ounce balls. Cost is $32.00 per pound or $16.00 per ball. Orders of over 5 pounds or 10 balls total (can be multiple colors) will recieve free shipping.

throughout. It is a blend of domestic fine wools and is suitable for either spinning or felting.

My camera refuses to see this one as the purple it actually is. I have tried numerous times to make
it see this as a very deep varigated purple and lavendar. so if you need to see this one before you
purchase, please let me know and I can send you a sample. Again it is a blend of multiple shades of
purple and lavender. It is a blend of 25% alpaca and 75% fine wool There is white alpaca throughout
the roving so it will spin up very heathered. Fiber length is 2 to 3 inches and is suitable for both spinning
and felting.

This is a very pale turquoise fine wool and alpaca blend. The wool fibers in this blend a only 1 to 2 inches

The color was created from a turquoise exhaust dye pot.
