Roving, roving and more roving...
I have my roving that I got back from Wooly Knob up on my website now. They are all natural colors or blends of natural colors. They are from a combination of fleeces, so I can't tell you which sheep any one roving is from.
There is natural black.

and natural white...

There is a blended grey (white and black together) which spins up looking a bit heathered...

And there is a black and white stripe (or "skunk" as our visitor Laura named it yesterday
) which spins up looking rag-wool like...

There is a small amount of taupe, which I believe may be brown and white blended together...

And a frosty one which is white with a sliver of grey running through it. It is a lot prettier than it photographs.

I also have some natural white blended with silk which extremely shimmery in the natural light...

There are clickable photos on my website so that you can embiggen them.
I am spinning up some of the grey and it is lovely. This is my Ashford Joy that I bought a year ago and have not practiced on at all. (I bought it so that I would have a travel wheel to take to festivals and not knock every bolt loose on my Louet S-51.) And... I am not a very good spinner as I spend lots of time outside taking care of sheep and not enough time in the house spinning. So if I can make it look like yarn, anyone can!!
