Rosie Cotton is a sweet wee girl who has a gentle disposition and truly loves her humans! Every night she needs lots of pets and hugs while waiting for her nightly hay, and if I happen to turn away and she feels we're not finished, she will gently nibble on my coat or stand extra close so I can feel her next to me. She truly makes my heart melt! Her roving is exquisite - a true, deep black with tog and thel carded together - it is incredibly soft! She will be a joy to spin, just as she is a joy to interact with everyday! Perfect for spinning, dyeing, needle-felting...anything!

If you haven't spun Icelandic before, please check out my video on spinning Black Velvet and please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

Please remember that you are buying farm-fresh roving! My fleeces are processed by an amazing small-batch mill that spends a great deal of time skirting and picking the fleeces - however, it is impossible for them to remove all of the VM (vegetable matter). The roving is amazingly soft and clean, and the VM comes out easily. Thank you for understanding that what you are seeing is evidence of the good food our sheep enjoy!

Hand wash very gently in cold water - do not agitate Icelandic wool. Lay flat to dry.
