Roving is a continuous stream of carded parallel fibers. Many handspinners prefer this form for spinning or other fiber arts. We choose some of our finer fleeces to be made into roving to ensure that handspinners have a very high quality product to work with.
The Icelandic sheep produces a premium fleece. The fleece is dual coated, with a fine, soft undercoat called thel and a longer, coarser outer coat called tog. Icelandic fleeces are open and low in lanolin. The weight loss when washed is significantly less than many other breeds. To read more about their fiber, click here.
This is absolutely beautiful roving that is a dream for hand spinners. It is in nice narrow strips (like flattened pencil roving). The color of this roving is wonderful, a lovely light/medium brown with some slight grey tones running through it. Offered in 8 ounce bumps.

Check out our gorgeous llamas. Churra and Sherman are our young guard llamas. In addition to keep our sheep safe, these guys are super fiber animals. Both of them have lots and lots of downy soft fiber.
We currently have two llama fleeces available unskirted from our spring shearing. One grey and the other is a creamy color with red tones.
Let us know if you would like some llama fiber. Usually we add it to some of our Icelandic fiber to be millspun into yarns, but we also offer it as raw fiber.
