White Wool Roving, a Blend of USA Sheep, 2 oz
This roving is a blend of all USA grown sheep wool.
The fiber is a combed wool roving with a 6” staple length and an average micron count of 25 (soft but not next to skin soft). It is white but not bright white. Each bundle is 2 oz.
This is a great roving for wrapping wire as the staple length is long enough not to break as you wrap. The fiber takes dye beautifully making it very versatile. This fiber spins beautifully and good for outer wear garments like hats and scarves and is great for “furring” needle felted sculptures like rabbits or wooly mammoths! I am happy to custom dye this fiber to your needs.
Enjoy!
Flesh Tone, light skinned, Core Roving, 2 oz
This is a beautifully soft core roving perfect for light skinned, needle felted sculptures.
The roving is relatively short stapled and felts down firmly and smoothly giving the face a lovely texture. There are occasional pieces of vm to pick out as you felt. The gnome pictured has a tiny bit of blush on his cheeks to make them rosy.
I use this for gnomes and I am sure it would also make a great piggy but haven't yet used it for that purpose...I better get cracking!
Light skinned flesh tone comes in 2 oz balls.

DHG Shop Super Fine Merino, 16 microns
I love all things earthy and primitive and in its natural state and that is what my shop is full of. It was time to add something soft and shiny! This is 16 micron, white extra-fine merino wool that originated in Australia, from DHG Shop, and I have bundled it by the 2oz.
It is perfect for nuno felting, wet felting, carding into pelts to add sheen for needle felted sculpture and for spinning.
Fiber is commercially prepared so is uber clean and free of vm. Staple length looks to be around 5 inches (2 oz bundles are lying next to a ruler to give you an idea of how big the bundle is) and is definitely next to skin soft and will take dye beautifully.
The company that produces this sliver is certified by the International Oeko-Tex Association to be eco- friendly.

Black Core Roving, 2 oz
This listing is for my favorite black core wool. You never need much for needle felting but when you do you want it to be really black and super easy to needle felt. This is it! I use my favorite off white chunky core and dye it here on the farm.
A 2 oz bundle will last you quite a while and make a billion eyes for your needle felted sculptures and is the perfect add on for a bigger order.
Basic and black and beautimous!

Farm Dyed Roving, Teal over Gray, 2 oz bundle
I was experimenting the other day and threw some gray roving into a vat of teal locks to soak up the extra dye. Boom! Look what came out! I am delighted with the richness of this color and know you will too.
Fiber is a medium gray roving, mostly Romney, with a 3 inch staple length. Great for spinning for an outer wear yarn, 2-D wool painting and, of course, needle felting! I am going to make some gnome hats from this.
If this is a popular color I will dye more!

Roving from my Sheep: Truman, 2oz
Truman was my sheep but now lives on a friend's farm. Truman is a Delaine (merino-like) and a beautiful white. Note that the natural black fiber pictured is no longer in stock. Truman is the white fiber. Fiber is very soft with a staple length of 2.5-3.5 inches. The roving is about an inch wide and drafts for spinning either a fine or thick yarn. The roving also needle felts beautifully.
Thanks to Susan at the Shenandoah Fiber Mil for processing Truman's fleece.

All the colors in the pumpkin patch are here! One ounce each of Washed Denim, Fairytale Pumpkin, and Jack O'Lantern Orange dyed on my favorite gray Romney core roving. Each color is 1 oz for a total of 3 oz.
I make my base pumpkin with off-white core and then cover with the dye colors. For wee pumpkins, I use straight dyed roving. These are quick and fun projects. Use any of your pretty locks for tendrils, add some dried grape vine tendrils or spiral some fine wire or cloth covered floral wire about a pencil for a fun and happy tendril!
