Others are being formed now. The rovings are made in small batches so there will never be huge quantites of these available. And once they're gone, they're gone. I don't remake my blends. The furballs like being unqiue!

I have been dying up a storm!!! Right now I have available gallon sacks of dyed fiber-----------angora, wools (from border leicester, corridale, icelandic, shetland, and others), alpaca, llama, Ingeo (made from corn), silk, mohair and probably some persian cat hair too! The colors include blues, yellows, purples and greens. I mix in a bit of natural color as well. These bags are great for spinning ( I wouldn't card/mix them too much as you will loose the individual colors) or for felting. Add some color to your fiber stash!
You'll love 'em!
My English Angora is harvested by hand combing. I (and the mouse in my pocket) comb each one down about 3 times a year. I sell the harvested wool by bunny, by the sack. The weight will vary. The amount of angora is what is important. A harvest from an adult bunny will fill one of the plastic sacks from the grocery store. I get about 150 to 200 yards finely spun per sack. This is prime, combed angora, no big globs of mats or short clipped fibers. Colors available are white, black (a soft grey actually), chocolate, red (really reddish blonde), blue. I sometimes have juvenile harvests.
$35.00 per sack

$8.00 per ounce, combed prime
HANDSPUN YARN DEAL....100 yards for 30.00, ppd
100 yards of my own handspun yarns from fibers grown here or by my friends and processed by me with well water and mild soap. This is an eclectic blend of fiber and color---------different wools, angora, alpaca, llama, silk, perhaps some flax and surprises. Some are dyed with things from nature with white vinegar or alum for mordants. Some are dyed with Gaywool brand wool dye. You will receive at least 3 different skeins in each order. You may choose natural colored wool or dyed or a blend. The sizes of the yarns will vary as each "batch" is done by me on one of my handmade spinning wheels. Add some unique spice to your knitting, weaving, basketry or other fiber pursuits!!
