3 oz balls of Black Shetland Roving
Elsbeth is Enya’s 2022 twin, mini-me ewe lamb. She is the spitting image of her mother and is as kind and loving as they come. She is following in her footsteps and beginning to start to grey but is still pretty solid black. She has a fine wavy fleece.
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.
