Dark Gray Shetland Roving 4 oz each, READY TO USE (Fleece 12/11/18)

Description

4 ounces of  Dark Gray Shetland Wool Roving. Professionally washed and carded by Alford Family Farms and Spinnery, with great care taken to ensure a wonderful end product. The wool is skirted, 24 hour cold soaked,
pre-washed followed by opening tumbling, hand picking of vegetable matter, hot soaked, two washes, two rinses and carding. The scouring process allows for a gentle moving of water through the wool to avoid agitation. Temperature controls prevent shock to the fleece as it soaks. No harsh chemicals are used in the cleaning of the fleece. A Stonehedge picker and carder process the washed fleece. This GORGEOUS roving is from Shetland fleece in Avon Grove School flock in PA. They are perfect for spinning and knitting, or felting into warm garments! The carded fiber is super easy to spin on a spinning wheel or drop spindle. The color is a rich dark grey. This is Shetland so make sure you read about it before ordering. We have been been very careful not to separate the undercoat from the outer coat which is sometimes a problem when processing double coated animals.
