DREAM
A FULL 50% ALPACA! WOWOWOW!
Heathery tones of orchid, lavender, sky blue, and dove grey stream and blend
together to make this "dreamy" roving!
DREAM
is loaded with soft and
cozy fibers--- 50% alpaca(!), 20% polypay wool, and 30% tunis wool. It
spins and felts easily and is wonderful to work with. Team
DREAM
up with purple, khaki,
gray, white, jeans, blue, navy, or black outfits--- it will perk up
your colors nicely! Can't you just see knitting a lace shawl from DREAM?
Or how about felting a bag from
DREAM?
Why don't we use merino? Isn't it
supposed to be the "best"? I don't use merino wool. I think it shrinks way too
much and is difficult to work with, especially for spinners.. Instead, I use two
other wools. Each roving is a blend of polypay wool, tunis wool, and alpaca.
Polypay wool is much like merino in that it's super crimpy and soft, but the
fiber length is much longer. Then I also use tunis wool, an ancient breed that
resembles borderleister wool. It is creamy white, extremely soft, lustrous,
wavy, and semi-long. And then there's the alpaca. No need to say much about
alpaca, except that it's as soft as a cloud!
We support local, small shepherds in
Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Wisconsin. We skirt each and every
fleece by ourselves, ensuring the best quality fiber that we can find. No harsh
chemicals are used when scouring either--- just biodegradable stuff that we
don't mind going into our ground water. After all--this farm is where we live
too!
All our rovings here at JJFARM are hand-washed, hand-dyed a pound at a time;
picked and carded on our own mill equipment too. No harsh chemicals are used to
scour the wool, hence no prickles from bleach and chemical reactions! We put
pride and a lot of hard work into making the softest fiber blends we can, making
sure that EACH and every fleece we pick and skirt by hand is of the utmost
softness. We strive to make high quality, fantastically soft, spinning and
felting fibers that are still affordable to our customers. That's our goal!
We hope that you will also take the time to look at our other rovings and products on our EBAY STORE, ETSY STORE, and FACEBOOK, all under: jehovahjirehfarm. Have a good time looking, and happy shopping. (Jehovah Jireh Farm Woolmill).
