3 oz balls of White Shetland Roving
Solas was the 2022 ewe lamb of Grian. She was a single lamb that was the first lamb that i had to pull. She was born in a tricky presentation, where her elbows were locked against the cervix, and she was stuck. With a little maneuvering I was able to push her back and retrieve her legs and she slpped righ t out! Whew. Solas is a light katmoget and her fleece is the closest to white that I have in my flock.
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.
