Our fleeces are very clean, as our sheep are coated year-round, in fact the sheep start wearing a coat on the day of birth.

Subject: Loving the roving Ü ....
Greetings Jean...Just dropping you a note to let you know how it's going with the roving... I started spinning some of the tan the other day and it is wonderful!! It's smooth and almost buttery to work with... the processor who did the roving did a wonderful job and the fibre is amazing...
I am dividing each 4oz lot into three for a 3ply and the first batch of singles is done, the second is soon to be started and I am really looking forward to getting all three singles done and seeing how the final 3ply looks when it's finished... I'm planning to do all the rovings like this so I can use them together in a project (not sure just what yet, but I'll have a better idea once I have it all spun)...
I'll do some scans and sent them to you if you are interested... I am definately liking this fibre Ü ...
Walk in peace and may your hands always have fibre to love...

Kitchener, ON, CanadaSince we can't really show the quality of the roving in pictures (very hard to get good photos of roving) would you allow us to use your comments about it on our web site?
Thanks,
JeanSubject: Re: Loving the roving Ü ....
Sure.... I haven't any problem with that... I'm glad to help...
Walk in peace...

We offer for sale:
Raw fleece Sold OUT! Nov. '10
Purebred Navajo-Churro fleeces, in a variety of colors (white-tan-gray-black).
Medium wooled Corriedale crossbred fleeces, in colors from whites to grays to black
We sell skirted raw fleece or processed (washed and carded) wool which can be shipped UPS anywhere.
Our fleeces are very clean because our sheep are coated year-round, starting when each lamb is but a few days old.
Since I process some of my wool myself, I can tell customers how best to process fleeces purchased from us.
I take great pains to produce batts that are smooth, even, lofty, very clean and virtually noil free. The "ready to spin or card" locks are carefully washed and flicked. Our processed wool spins like cotton candy!
