BROWN SHEEP
MILL END ROVINGS

This is the way the mill end
rovings arrive at The Sheep
Shed Studio.  They then must be
removed from the bags and
sorted.
The sorting begins:  The bags must be opened and the rovings and pieces
sorted into the three classes of fiber we sell.  This is a labor intensive job,
there is simply no other way to do it but take it piece by piece and wind it
into bundles.
The Spinning Bells
These "resemble" the silk
caps that we spin, only
much larger.  You can peel
off layers and pull into
roving.  Most of the natural
colors (white, tan, brown,
gray) are likely to felt if you
want to .  Bells are about 2'
long and at least that wide
at the bottom.  Colors are
rare anymore , Gray and
White always on hand.
THESE ROVINGS ARE MILL ENDS!!!!
They are not perfect, they have been tossed in boxes, put in
bags, hauled.  They are top spinning and felting fibers, but may
not be exactly as pictured.
The Whites
The whites come in a variety
of sizes and shapes.  If they
have pink in them, it means
they have mohair in the mix
(85% wool, 15% mohair).  We
try to pull out all superwash
when we find it, but it is
possible that we might miss
some.
The  Brown Tones
we have a wide array of brown tones.    
Dark, medium or light brown tones.
Wide or narrow striping.  If you have a
preference we will try to fill it.  If we
cannot,  we will ship the next closest
colorway.
The Black Tones
We have a wide array of black tones.
Lots of striping in Dark, Medium and
Light shades.  If you have a
preference we will try to fill it.  If we
cannot, we will ship the next closest
colorway.
Grab Bags
Grab bags are filled with the
fibers that don't fit the roving
category.  The fiber might be
filmy batts like the one shown
on the right or short pieces of
roving, handfuls of fibers, cut
pieces, or a combination of all.  
All are spinable, most are felting
material.  It might all be one
color of fiber, or might be
assorted colors

The Red Tones
This can either be rovings or
laps.  Laps are just very wide flat
rovings, one step away from
regular rovings.  They may be as
shown or more blended.  
CARDBOARD CONES
I use these with my ball
winder, trimming them
when using the smaller
one.  They are great for
storing your handspuns.
