The rovings offered for sale here are from raw Icelandic fleeces that have been
heavily skirted to remove belly wool and vegetative matter, thoroughly washed and then carded into spinners roving by
Carothers Country Fiber Mill in Minnesota City, MN. Icelandic wool contains two types of fiber:
the thel or undercoat that is very fine with lots of crimp, and the tog that has
a longer staple (3-6"), is less fine, and has lots of natural curl. The thel and tog have been combined
in these rovings. If you wish to purchase some of these quality rovings, please order on-line via PayPal,
or call or email us. Shipping charges within the United States are approximately
20% of the purchase price. For shipping outside the states email us for an estimate.
PayPal, Credit Cards (via paypal), or Personal Checks are accepted as payment.
These rovings are priced according to the weights after processing; the shipped weight
may be 5-6% less due to moisture loss during storage.
"(AI)" indicates that a sheep was the product of artificial
insemination using semen imported from Iceland.

List Printout: If you are
interested in a hard-copy printout of this web page, to study off-line in more detail, simply select
FILE/PRINT in your browser. The current page formating is set for 0.5 inch left/right margins and 0.3
inch top/bottom margins in LANDSCAPE mode (print at 100%).
Colors: The exact shades of colors
seen here may vary slightly, depending upon the monitor you are displaying them on. In particular, black is very difficult to photograph and reproduce on a computer monitor - a black roving may
appear to have a brown tint to it, but in actuality is very black.
Weights: The rovingss are priced according to the
weights at processing; the shipped weight may be 5-6% less due to moisture loss during storage. "(v.m.)" notation
indicates the roving contains significant vegetative matter and the price has been reduced by 50%.
Genetics: The names above each sheep's
picture refer to breeding rams in Iceland to which each sheep is related. A VAI-Ewe or VAI-Ram is the
product of vaginal articifial insemination using frozen semen from rams currently living in Iceland.
We began using this procedure for introducing new genetics into our flock after hosting the
3rd SouthRam VAI Workshop at our farm in September of 2007.
Testimonials
"The roving you sent from Grima and Eydis came about three weeks ago and both are absolutely gorgeous!
You were right - the processing is some of the best I have seen, immaculate and flawless."
(DR from Michigan)
"Sorry, I meant to email you immediately. The box arrived last Friday. It is wonderful.
Thank you so much. I can hardly wait to start spinning. And I loved the photos. I’ll be keeping those."
(SB from Maine)
"The second box of rovings arrived today. They are all lovely! Best of luck with the lambs
this year, and thanks again."
(DS from California)
