3 oz balls of Katmoget Shetland Roving
Daisy was Rose’s first ewe lamb. Rose’s lambs are all named after plants or flowers. When Daisy was a ewe lamb she fractured her hip when she got tangled in some fencing and rolled down the hill. She gave birth to 2 ewe lambs, but needed help from the vet so she has retired from breeding. Her fleece is lovely though. A nice pearl grey with fine 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.
