We primarily use a three way blend of alpaca for it&#8217;s softness and &#8220;bloom;&#8221; a medium staplewool such as Cormo, Polypay, or Corriedale for memory and elasticity, and a long wool such as Borderleister, Tunis, or BFL (Blue Faced Leister) for ease of spinning.\u00a0 Many of our rovings contain from 25% to 40% alpaca. Some may have silk, cotton or &#8220;exotic&#8221; animal fiber such as camel, dog or Angora added, too. The result is roving and\/or pre-felts that are easy to felt or spin into yarn, and a dream to wear when knitted, felted, or woven.\u00a0 note:\u00a0 Because these are hand-crafred items, there may be slight variations in color between lots.<\/p>\n<p>All our fibers are washed, hand-dyed, blended, and then carded into rovings, using no harsh chemicals.\u00a0 Many people who previously thought they were allergic to wool are able to wear items made from our roving without any problem.\u00a0 \u00a0That&#8217;s because we don&#8217;t use caustic chemicals to strip and scour our fleeces, chemicals which can leave residues and irritate sensitive skin<\/p>\n<p>We recommend you order 4 oz. more fiber than what you expect to use in order to ensure consistency of color and blend in your finished product. This also helps to protect you from not having enough to finish a project, and then having the disappointment of not being able to order the same dye lot again. Unless otherwise noted, all rovings are sold in 4 oz. balls.<\/p>\n<p>Click on the images below to see some of our current offerings. \u00a0Remember though, we have many more<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">\u00a0rovings in stock!<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"> Please feel free to contact us with colors and\/or fibers you would like.
