FARM ROVING - Baby Alpaca / Merino / Silk - Roving (Baby Grade Alpaca) from CHASE - Black
This roving is made from CHASE, who is son of Champion SEBASTIAN and is a show winner as well. He takes his personality from his dad and also stands in as a PR guy when needed, although getting a good pic of him is harder than his dad. He has beautiful black fiber, and it is hard to get a good pic with the right lighting :) This is roving and is beautifully prepared and super soft. It is pin drafted and a pleasure to spin. Normally I mix his fiber with white merino to make a steel grey with a white silk streak, but this time I took black merino and now this roving is jet black with a white silk streak! It is striking !
