| 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 used to be the way the mill end rovings arrived at The Sheep Shed Studio. Now they are in short supply, and we don't get any of these big loads anymore. |
| NOTE: 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. We are selling more mill ends than we are bringing in. We will fill orders with what we have. |
| WOOL Odds and Ends 9.00 PER LB. ALSO FOUND ON THE SPECIALS PAGE. SOLD AS 3 LB FUNKY 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. The batts and bells will be found in this bag. All are spinable, wool is felting material. It might all be one color of fiber, more likely assorted natural colors |

| We used to 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.. $9.50 per pound and up |
| We are not getting as many colored mill ends as before. We will be offering colored tones and white tones. We will put as much of the same color as possible, but no choice in the color. Some will be solids. |
| Mostly the colored tones of Mill End Roving will be in the black, brown shaded, often striped rovings. Occasionally some red, green or blue might appear. We will try to give you as much as possible in one variety, but anymore we don't have enough of one variety to fill a larger order. Then you get a assortment of colored tones to mix and match. |
| 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. Assorted rovings and lengths will be in the bags of ANY MILL END ROVING order. It is always 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 3 lb. per color so everyone can have a chance at purchasing this fiber. supplies are very limited. We attempt to keep the Superwash and the wool rovings apart, but occasionally someone might toss superwash into the wool bags. Please test before felting. |
| We do have whites in full bump lengths on the #1 wool top rovings page and on the White Page. |
| White mill ends available again, but may be mixed White wool rovings, We simply do not get in enough to insure you all one kind. |
| Sock Yarn Mill Ends Again, limited amounts, please one pound orders only. Superwash/Nylon. You may want to blend the white stripes more before spinning, or not. $10.00 per lb. |
