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!!
