Dyed rovings for handspinning, felting

Denim blue--you get lights and darks as you might see in stone-washed denim.
Gray twisted with aquamarine and grape. These work great together or separate.
Grape--the color is really very purple. My browser makes it look blue, but it's not. Very lustrous and fun.

Aquamarine, this is brighter with more variations of light to dark than my browser implies. This has a dash of glittery glitz in it too.
Red roses--a range of pale pink to deep red, with black overtones (SOLD). I have a lighter space dyed rose and cream available. Pictures coming soon, ask me about it!
Ironstone--a lovely, lustrous gray. I hope there is some of this left for me to spin.

Here are soft, lustrous some dyed rovings ready for use. They spin like a dream and are great for felting fun too. Colors are vivid and beautiful. May appear different depending on your screen.

Flax spinning wheel

This is a well-made flax spinning wheel with an onion bulb distaff. I have used it to make fine yarns--mohair, angora, silk, merino, to name a few. It is a double drive, and is made at least in part of a hardwood. It is a very good looking wheel. Someone tells me that they think it is from a defunct Scottish company called "Haldane" and that this is the "Hebridean" model. I don't know if this is true or not, but it is a good looking wheel.

Angora goat wether

This is an adorable nine month old angora goat wether that I am offering for sale at $100. He'd make a great 4H project, or fiber pet. I sold his baby fleece at $20 per pound. It was so soft and shiny after I washed it. So, you should do ok with him. Right now, he weighs about 40 lbs. I think he will mature around 75 lbs.
