NEW! Romney This romney fiber is from a purchase I made from another flock owner. The length averages 4-5 inches. The base color on this is black to dark gray with sun faded tips that run 1/2 way down the locks. When spun, I have a feeling it will be more brown than black! This fiber is very soft and silky with lots of luster! There is more vm in this than I like to see, but I did skirt it in my laundry room and not outside so I could not skirt as well as I can outside!
