Lizzie's Lincoln Roving Lizzie is a friend's ewe. Marilyn is an older lady that just won't give up her sheep-bless her heart! She can no longer handle square bales of hay so she feeds the large round bales. Unfortunately by doing this, more vm gets into the wool. I tried my best to get most of the vm out of this fiber, but there is still some in it that will fall out during spinning. |

NEW! Jacob Roving This wool came from a neighbor. He is a dairy farmer that inherited this sheep. He still does not know where he came from-if he was dropped off or just plain escaped his former owners! He caught him and had him sheared. The shearer told him to bring the fleece to me and that I would know what to do with it! After spending literally hours working on getting the fleece clean, here it is all ready to be spun/felted or what ever you can think of. It is fairly soft with a nice staple to it. 1 pound 2 ounces available $1.75 per ounce or $27.00 for all |
