One box has four roving "baby" bumps. Our baby bumps are ~2 oz. rolls of roving that we create in small batches from our own wool. This means that no two batches are the same, making each roving box one-of-a-kind. Commonly used by spinners, roving also works well for many felting applications as well as for weaving applications in which you'd like to add texture or volume.
Material: Polypay, Targhee, Lincoln Longwool and/or Alpaca Wool. See info card on each box for precise amounts. (Unfamiliar with these sheep breeds? Read about their fibre here.)
Source: 100% Ontario fibre from our own sheep flock here at Borderlands Farm
Processing: 100% hand processed on our Belfast Mini Mill Equipment. Beverly has washed, dyed and carded the fibre in small batches.
Weight of Fibre: approximately 8 oz. total (each individual “bump” is ~2 oz.)
Dye: Procion dyes.
Box Size: 9" x 9" x 3"
Roving Batches (4)

DISCLAIMER
We do our best to represent colours accurately, however not all screens are calibrated the same and colour may appear differently in person.
Small scale on-farm processing like ours means that there will be a small amount of vegetable matter (hay or straw bits) in the wool. While Procion dyes are colorfast, some dye colours have a rinse-off period. The weight of wool varies based on the humidity in the air, so all weights are approximations.
