Roving
Our fleeces
are processed without the use of chemicals. Most commercially procesesed
roving and yarn have been chemically
processed to remove all "VM" (vegetable matter; ie weed
seeds, bits of hay etc). The residue from these chemicals has been
known to cause allergic reactions.
Those of us that raise sheep primarily for fiber, know that VM is
a big issue for handspinners (most of us being handspinners ourselves).
So we do our best to keep clean pastures, feed so that the hay doesn't
drop onto the necks and backs as they eat and then skirt our fleeces
before processing to remove any debris that does sneak in. You can
be assured that our fleeces will NEVER be chemically processed to
remove VM!

This
is roving from our BFL/BL hybrid cross, Golden Ticket.
Goldie's fiber is the winner this year for softest, silkiest
fiber! It is like a cloud and spins up like a dream (catcher?
:) I have 3 lbs of Goldie's fiber left, get yours before
its all gone!

This is from our 2 purebred BFL's Amy and
Lemara. It is a very close second to Goldie's in softness
and sheen. Both are perfect for next to the skin garments.

This
roving is from our North Country Cheviots. It has more
loftiness than the BFL but isn't quite as soft. It is
great for dying, felting (wet or needle) and for knitting
up and fulling.

Rose
and Ari are 2 yearlings so this wool still has that tender
softness of lambs wool. I have done
some dying with it and it dyes up beautifully and spins up
just as nicely.

This
roving is from our 2 purebred Shetlands, Lily and Nutmeg.
It is a very nice Shetland, I wish I could tell you if
its double coated or not but I'm still learning about
that. I can just say that it is soft enough for next
to the skin garments and I don't notice any scratchy
hair fibers in it.

I
will be taking some new pictures because this simply
doesn't do Roark justice. Roark is my pride and joy and
is the
sire to all of our beautiful lambs. I have spun and knitted
a lacey shawl out of Roarks fiber and it is soft, silky
and the way it hangs is just, well its the reason I started
raising this breed. Roark is a BFL/BL hybrid and the
colors in his wool are what really set him apart. There
is a combination
of chocolate brown, dark brown and creamy greys, its
just beautiful. Its why I'm so devoted to natural colored
sheep!

Black
Dahlia is a yearling ewe from one of our purebred Shetlands,
Jane. Unfortunately Dahli got into some burrs that slipped
past the skirters. Most was removed during carding but
some still remains. Dahli's wool is appropriate for outerwear,
felting (wet and needle).

This
2 ply yarn is spun from
our lamb named "Stormy Wether" first shearing
(my spelling is fine, wether is a castrated ram lamb
:). Stormy is what is called a blackbelly, meaning
his belly,
legs and face are black. The majority of his usable
wool is a beautiful light oatmealy grey (very subtle).
Stormy
has almost a little bit of everything we raise mixed
in there, BFL, BL, Shetland, Scottish Blackface and
maybe Cheviot (mom is a mystery!). I am very pleased
with his
wool and he's also a beautiful sheep to look at! His
wool
is very soft and has some loft to it but also retains
that nice drape associated with leicester wools. It
is appropriate
for next to the skin garments.
This 2 ply yarn is 14 WPI (wraps per inch) making it a
medium sport weight yarn. Recommended needle size is 4-8.
It can be wound into center pull balls, just mention that
when purchasing. I also have another pound or 2 of roving
so I can spin up more if needed.
I currently have
4 skeins available, more available upon request.

$20.00
per skein This is a 2 ply
handspun yarn from Pewter and Stormy's wool. Wow, is it soft!!
I seriously considered keeping this for myself, the luster
is DREAMY (sorry, couldn't resist)! This would make an
amazing pair of socks or a great scarf (think winter lol).
Its never too soon to start those (ahem) Christmas knitting
projects :)!
I currently have
2 skeins, more available upon request. |

The
females in my family are bag/purse freaks. I can't remember
how many times my mother has said "I need a new
purse". My sister showed up with a new leather slouch
bag one day and I said to myself "Self, you can
make that with wool!" So I did! Once again, Miss
Cybil supplied me with the fiber and I did the rest.
The cheviots don't know this but they've got an appointment
with the shears so I can make more!
