Our roving boxes offer a one-of-a-kind crafting experience, featuring four hand-dyed rolls of roving, each weighing approximately 2 oz. These roving bumps are created in small batches using wool from our own sheep, and processed in our on-site Wool Mill. Because each batch is unique, each roving box gives you an exclusive selection of colors and textures that are perfect for your creative projects.
Each box contains roving that’s ideal for spinners, felters, and other crafters. The hand-dyed colors are rich, vibrant, and completely unique, adding depth and dimension to your yarn, felted items, or other pieces. These roving bumps bring your work to life with beautiful, sustainable materials.
Material: Polypay, Targhee, Lincoln Longwool and/or Alpaca Wool. See info card on each box for precise amounts. (Unfamiliar with these sheep breeds? Read about their fibre here.)

DISCLAIMER
We do our best to represent colours accurately, however not all screens are calibrated the same and colour may appear differently in person.
Small scale on-farm processing like ours means that there will be a small amount of vegetable matter (hay or straw bits) in the wool. While Procion dyes are colorfast, some dye colours have a rinse-off period. The weight of wool varies based on the humidity in the air, so all weights are approximations.
