Spinning Fiber: Roving




Spinning Fiber: Roving
Roving from our fiber flock, beautifully prepared by Skagit Woolen Works to go straight onto your wheel or spindle. We offer 4 oz twists of prepared fiber from sheep of various breeds. It’s the perfect way to sample a variety of pure and crossbred fleeces; please contact us if you’d like a larger quantity for a garment or weaving project!
Current stock includes:
North Country Cheviot x BFL/Romney/Sally Bill Special natural grey from our ram Kulshan. This fiber has both loft and luster and a staple length of 6-8”. Not as soft as the Finn crosses, but strong and a handsome mid grey.
Natural black Finn x Cheviot, staple length 3-4”. Soft, puffy, and versatile. An unintentional cross but a fun spin!
Natural white and black blended Finn x Cheviot, staple length 3-4”. Soft, puffy, and versatile.
Natural black, grey, and white tricolor Finn x BFL/Coopworth/Romney/East Friesian, staple length 3-4”. This is the crossbred fiber that goes into our popular Spyhop yarn. It has softness, shine, and a little more body than pure Finn.
