| Carl and Carol Lee of The Sheep Shed Studio in Encampment, Wyoming are happy to be able to offer very affordable quality mill end rovings from The Brown Sheep Company in Mitchell, Nebraska |
| BROWN SHEEP MILL END ROVINGS This is the way the mill end rovings arrive at The Sheep Shed Studio. They then must be removed from the bags and sorted. |
| THESE ROVINGS ARE MILL ENDS!!!! They are not perfect, they have been tossed in boxes, put in bags, hauled, stored in bins. They are top spinning and felting fibers, but may not be exactly as pictured. Dec. 2011.....We are selling more mill ends than we are bringing in. We will fill orders with what we have. |
| The Brown Tones we have a wide array of brown tones. Dark, medium or light brown tones. Wide or narrow striping. We will try to give you at least a pound of one style of striping. You may bet several widths if your order is over a lb. |
| The Black Tones We have a wide array of black tones. Lots of striping in Dark, Medium and Light shades. We will try to give you at least a pound of one style of striping. You may bet several widths if your order is over a lb. |
| WOOL 9.00 PER LB. ALSO FOUND ON THE SPECIALS PAGE. SOLD AS 3 LB BAG O' CRAP/GRAB BAG COMBINATION. Bags are filled with the fibers that don't fit the roving category. The fiber might be filmy batts like the one shown on the right or a combination of carded fibers. All are spinable, most are felting material. It might all be one color of fiber, or might be assorted colors |

| We sit for hours sorting the good longer rovings for the Mill End Roving Selection. All rovings are a minimum of approx. one foot in length or the entire order may be all in one long roving. We try very hard to pick out all Superwash but we cannot guarantee that we might not miss some. |
| MILL END ROVINGS.. $9.00 per pound |
| We are not getting as much colored mill ends as before. We may not be able to fill larger orders with all the same stripe. Some may have solid color along with stripes in your order. We will try to have a least a pound per variety in these larger orders......and this does mean 2 lb. or larger |
| We are also offering a Dark Roving.........Black Brown some are Black/Brown/White with the white being mohair and some are just Black/Brown wool. Assorted widths of stripings, or solid color |
| MILL END ROVING WOES The mill has improved their performance with the machines and well trained folks running them. This is good for the mill, not so good for us. We have added a Superwash Mill End Roving in Asst. Colors for you to try. Good Price for Superwash, no choice of colors. Assorted rovings and lengths will be in the bags of ANY MILL END ROVING order. It is possible some could be superwash as well. Know this before you buy. If you want to be sure the wool is all the same, buy the #1 wool rovings from the WHITE PAGE. Thanks! Please no MILL END ROVING orders over 5 lb. per color so everyone can have a chance at purchasing this fiber. supplies are very limited. |
| We do have whites in full bump lengths on the #1 wool top rovings page and on the White Page. |
| Know that this new Grab Bag material IS Superwash The bells are not as defined as some we have had in the past, there is some color involved as well as the grays and whites. If you are felting, be sure to test before you spend your time making an item from this... |
| brown tones are out until we go to the mill again. |
| White mill ends available again, but msy be mixed rovings, We simply do not get in enough to insure you all one kind. |
