Luxurious Shetland Roving Continued

For some reason these photos wouldn't post on the previous page. Here is our  2011 roving up close.

Gurdy Run Mill did a great job for us. I highly recommend them! The last post has a link to them.

If anyone's interested I'd be happy to send out samples.

Shetland  Black from the boss around here!~Bella

I'm spinning Bella's fleece right now and I LOVE  it! It's so rewarding to be finally enjoying the process.

Luxurious Shetland Roving

We're very pleased with the roving we got back from Gurdy Run Mill! Take a look. I'm finally getting the hang of spinning on my new Lendrum wheel but I know I'll never use all of this glorious roving so...

I'll be selling some here at the farm and on Etsy. I'll be happy to send samples if you like. Just comment below or email me!
