Batts, Roving, Top

Creation Details:

Entirely USA made of fiber from my Angora goats and BFL sheep, supplemented with fibers from other small USA farmers. Dancing Waters Farm is a smokefree, animal friendly farm, (no animals are taken to slaughter) which is why the majority of my fibers are from goats more than three years old. Roving and tops are processed by Frankenmuth or Zeilinger's in Michigan. Batts are custom carded on the farm, and custom batts and colors can be created on request.

Fiber is hand washed, and carded into roving. You may notice a small amount of vegetable matter (VM) as my fibers are gently processed - no harsh chemical treatments to dissolve vegetation or clean the fibers. It is also your assurance of the highest quality fiber, as it has not been weakened or damaged by processing.

The high mohair content ensures that products made from the roving, tops or batts are longer lasting and more lustrous than pure wool.

NOTE: Shipping will be calculated and invoiced separately so that you only pay the exact shippping vs a standard charge.  I'll inovice you for the actual shipping charges when the package is ready to go and you may cancel with full refund at that time.  Shipping generally starts at $6 unless the order is small enough to fit in a padded envelope (2-4 oz).  This keeps your purchase cost to a minimum.
