Light gray 100% Romney roving 

Very clean, spins up quite easily. Ideal for beginners. Overdyes nicely.

$16 per lb.

 

 

Medium Gray 100% Romney roving

Exactly as above, just a couple shades darker ( a bit darker than photo shows, due to flash bounce).

$16 per lb.

 

Taupe-gray Llama / Bluefaced Leicester Roving

A gorgeous, wonderfully soft blend. The BFL brings loft and resiliency to the llama's silkiness. For next-to-the-skin projects. The color has a bit more brown tones than is evident in the photo, due to flash bounce.

$2 per oz. / $28 per lb.

 

 
 

White 100% Bluefaced Leicester Roving

Bright white, extremely clean, spins up beautifully to a soft, high luster, drapier yarn. Takes dye wonderfully.

$1.25 per oz. / $20 per lb. (Currently sold out)

 

 

White 100% Romney Roving

Very clean, spins up quite easily to a high luster yarn. Ideal for beginners. Dyes beautifully.

$16 per lb.

 

 

 

◄Gray 100% Llama Roving

Medium gray with a small percentage of guard hair, this roving spins up to a silkier yarn with less memory than sheep wool. Plied with wool or a wool blend, it would work well in sweaters and scarves.

$1.50 per oz / $24 per lb 

 

Red-Brown 100% Llama Roving

The source animals of this roving have more guard hair than the above roving, making this a more durable, beefier yarn, but not as soft. We use it for knitted slippers, outer wear and rugs.

$1.25 per oz / $20 per lb.

 

80/20Medium gray llama/fine wool blend roving

This is a 80/20 blend that spins up much darker than the photo would indicate (in rugs, we use this as "black"). A bit more challenging than the 100% Romney in spinning ease, but still quite easy to spin. Resulting yarn is silkier and drapier than any of the 100% sheep wool rovings..

$18 per lb (Currently old out)

 

100% White Romney yarn (machine spun)

This 2-ply sport-weight yarn is ideal for sweaters, hats, mittens and other outerwear. We plan to use it as warp for rugs as well. It takes dye beautifully.

Sold in 5 oz skeins, 180 yards - $15 each
