4 oz balls of Warm Black Shetland Roving

Lachlan was one a 2021 ram lamb of Fergus. His fleece is a warm black with white hairs mixed in but mostly black. He helped us grow our ewe flock and then was harvested. His hide will be available soon. His fleece is medium fine and very soft with a more wavy crimp.

We shear after lambing and before the weather gets too warm. The fleeces are skirted then sent to Illinois Wool and Fiber Mill for a gentle scouring and then carding into this fluffy roving. It is ready for spinning, felting or other crafting projects. This wool takes dyes wonderfully. You will notice bits of hay occasionally in our roving. Our sheep live outside, and we do not put coats on them. We process minimally to keep the most natural feel to the wool. It comes out easily when spinning, we hope it will remind you of the beautiful pastures and forages they enjoy.
