Qty:

Our hand-dyed Colorado-grown Shetland roving in 4 oz hanks, from our flock of heritage Shetland sheep. We have been breeding Shetlands for 15 years toward softer fleeces with a good handle and staple length - perfect for spinning, Fair Isle knitting, and felting. We always use non-toxic dyes. Colors in the main photo, from left to right: Chamisa, Vineyard, Garden Vista, Wildflower, and Colorado Ramada.

We sustainably produce this wool on our three-generation family farm, using rotational grazing, organically produced hay, solar power, non-lethal predator control, and organic methods. We are participating providers with the Shave 'em to Save 'em program from the Livestock Conservancy.

We attempt to represent our colors as accurately as possible, but your monitor/screen's settings may alter the display. Variations in color may occur, as hanks are dyed by hand; we cannot guarantee perfectly matching colors between dye lots.

Vineyard Colorway

Very pretty roving! I'm still getting used to spinning roving instead of combed top and found that an assisted backwards long draw worked better than my usual short forward draw. It spun up nicely once I figured that out.
