| 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 and SUPERWASH Odds and Ends IN Grab Bags or Funky Bags!! 8.00 PER LB. FOR STRAIGHT WOOL BATTS OR BELLS, 9.00 FOR FUNKY ROVING 10.00 PER LB. FOR SUPERWASH ALSO FOUND ON THE SPECIALS PAGE. SOLD AS 1 OR IN 3 LB LOTS.. GrabBags are filled with the fibers that don't fit the roving category. The fiber might be filmy batts, or chunks of roving cut to free the machines. It could be a combination of carded fibers. Mostly batts and bells will be found in this bag. Funky Bags, mostly roving. All is spinable, wool is felting material. it will be assorted colors of fiber. NO CHOICE! |

| 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. We have little to sort anymore. We try very hard to pick out all Superwash but we cannot guarantee that we might not miss some. |
| MILL END FIBERS.. $9.00 per pound and up all washed, carded fiber...not all roving, now called Funky Bags |
| Our Mill End Supply is very short! Today, July 1, 2014, we are at a point , we will not have a large enough supply of mill ends to give you a choice. We will begin selling Funky Bags...can be some of everything, all of one style, just whatever we can glean from the bins. Grab Bags are chunks, batts and bells. All good fiber, but not all roving. |
| We have very few of the colored tones of Mill End Roving in the black, brown shaded, often striped rovings. Rarely do 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 all the Mill End Fiber 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, rolls, pieces, etc. will be in any Funky Bag order. It is always a possibilty some could be superwash as well, hard as we try to keep them apart 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! 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. |
| GRAB BAG STUFF This contains chunks, batts and bells. For felting, be sure to buy wool only. Be sure to test to be sure. |
