Coopworth Hogget Wool Roving - 4 oz - Moorit

This moorit (grey/brown/rose grey) roving is from a young (yearling) ewe at a friends farm. I was at shearing and personally chose and skirted this fleece. This is beautifully prepared. Marigold was coated and this is her first shearing. It has a great hand and I feel that coopworth hoggett is definitely next to skin soft.  

It is smooshy and squishy and just really fun.  When I was braiding it, I felt there was the tiniest bit of lanolin left in the roving.  

The stats:

• 4 oz in a braid
• pin drafted  roving
• 100% Coopworth Hoggett wool
• almost no VM - tiny bit here and there (coated fleece), any VM should fall out when spinning
• almost no neps or noils, but a few  - nice and pretty smooth
• mill processed
• staple length - 4 -5 inches

The roving is light and airy and drafts beautifully. Coopworth is very versatile and is easy for a beginner to spin.
