“To Dye For” FINNSHEEP Wool CLOUD “Campfire”, yellow and oranges, 4oz

This is a beautiful hand dyed Point of View Farm Finnsheep cloud. It is picked open locks that are usually the step BEFORE roving. It is textured open locks, some shorter, that are great for felting, spinning or let your creativity run loose. 100% lambs wool. I named this colorway ‘campfire’. It feels like hot embers to me.

So what exactly is a To Dye For Cloud? It is the complete ‘on farm’ method for preparing wool that I use to hand spin the award winning signature textured yarns. This preparation is now available to you to spin, felt and create with too. I think you are going to love this.

The ‘To Dye For’ wool is gently processed on the farm to maintain it’s natural integrity and structure. It contains different grades and lengths of finnsheep wool that are integral to my textured yarn approach to spinning. This wool has been processed through a swing picker to open up the locks. It feels very much alive. You can really see the wool structure of this lamb here. This is how I prepare fibers for my own spinning.

If that sounds like a lot, it is. So, why did we transition to on farm made roving when we could send the wool to a mill? We like to do all the processing ourselves. We are gentle with it. We also like to dye wool prior to carding and then create subtle variations and pops of color which can only be achieved with a hands on method. That means you have more color variety to choose from. It also means the dye lots are smaller (because my dye pots are only so large).

Full debrief. You may find tiny bits of grass the sheep pick up from their hillside pastures mixed in here and there. We take great care to remove nearly all of that. We are not perfect and some sheep are messier than others so occasionally something sneaks by. We feel it does not detract from the beauty, depth and dimension this 100% hand prepared product offers.

Each quantity is 4 ounces. If you order contains more than 4 ounces, we will package the roving into a single bag for you.

Enjoy!
