Natural Colored Shetland Roving and Yarns for Sale

We at Schoonover Farm have rovings for sale. They are from the 2016 shearing of our Shetland sheep. They are all natural colored.: black, grey, mioget (golden brown) and mioget katmoget (cream). The sheep were carefully shorn, and the fleeces skirted well. The wool was sorted and sent to Zeilinger Mill for processing into roving. They are now for sale for $3 per ounce.

      Hi Linn,
      I do not do micron testing on my wool. The grey and the black are from double coated fleeces and the mioget and mioget katmiget are largely intermediate style. None of them are from fine fleeces.
