Shimmering MOHAIR Pewter Roving spinning fiber Bleu

You are bidding on 4 oz of carded roving from our Angora doe, Bleu.   This fiber is clean with very little vegetative matter, though there seems to be occassional little clumps of spinning oil used by the mill to control flyaway during carding..mixed with some of the wool used to help bind the fibers.   This fiber has been scoured and carded.  This fleece  is a medium length ( 3 - 5 inches), is a lovely color I can only describe as "New Pewter".    The ball of roving in the FIRST picture is NOT Bleu's...hers is the darker one in the second photo.  But the stripe in the crocheted piece IS from her fiber.

Bleu is a faded blue or silver, and the roving came out the softest silvery blue that absolutely shimmers with light!  Mohair takes acid dyes better than any other protein fiber, in my humble opinion, creating bright, vibrant jewel tones.  Bleu is still young, and produced this lovely soft mohair for your enjoyment (and mine!)  This is her yearling fleece.  If you look at the roving, it looks like very pale, but in the picture you can see the loveliest, lusterous pewter grey stripe along the center of the crocheted piece representing her fiber.  This  roving is good for spinning, blending or felting.   This roving would blend in such a lovely way with a some of the alpaca or wool rovings I have for sale in my other auctions.    Shipped in a plastic bag then boxed, from a non-smoking home.
