4 oz balls of Silver Grey Shetland Roving

Grian was one of the first lambs born on our farm in 2021. She is a twin to Gaelach. Her name means sunshine in Gaelic. Her parents are Hamish and Enya. She is a light grey Katmoget, with beautiful face markings and a lovely taupey-grey cape developing as she ages over her shoulders. She has given us single lambs so far, a ewe and a ram this year. This is her 2022 fleece.She is sweet natured, and so so pretty.

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.
