8 oz Braid of dyed wool roving

Description

These colorful braids of roving are created with locally grown wool (Nevada) - I combined two fleeces from a flock of a rather eclectic flock of cross-breeds. Most of the sheep in this flock a Montadale/Finnsheep X ewe in their ancestry, BUT there are other random (and some unknown) breeds in this flock as well. The Finnsheep in these sheep softens and lengthens the wool.
It is not a super-fine wool and for many people may not be a next-to-skin sort of wool, it does have a nice hand and spins up well in a variety of weights of yarn.
I processed two fleeces together to create this quantity of wool - unfortunately, one of the fleeces had a break and/or fragile tips so some of the colors in this roving have quite a few "neps." Because of this, this particular lot of roving will not be ideal for spinning fine plies, BUT would still work well for felting and spinning thicker plies and/or art yarn.
Each braid is different - select and order the braid(s) you would like by the number in the photo.  Note that each braid EXCEPT #1 is 8oz while braid #1 is 6oz (note also that exact weight can vary depending on the moisture content in the wool at the time weighed vs. at the time it arrives at your home).
Please note that I am in process of moving - this wool was grown by sheep in Nevada and processed into colorful roving in Nevada.  I am in process of moving so it will ship from FL.  Due to the move and the need to reassess my small business plans, this is part of an inventory reduction clearout!  As such I am not currently accepting returns (though if you are truly unhappy with the product, please do message me) BUT I am also willing to work with you to reduce costs if you are purchasing multiple items and bulk lots!  Please contact me and we will see what we can do for you!!! :)
