3 oz balls of Charcoal Shetland Roving
Enya is the matriarch of my Shetland flock. She is one of my original OG girls and is an amazing ewe. She is usually the first to lamb, gives me usually a beautiful pair of ewe/rams , has amazing mothering skills, grows beautiful lambs and is always in fine form even when nursing twins. She is my rock star. She was pure black but is starting to grey into a beautiful Shaela (charcoal grey) . Her krunet, and socket markings, create a stunning flashy ewe and she passes that on to her offspring.
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.
