This roving is of true Pacific Northwest origins - these sheep were part of a ranch contracted with Pendleton. When the contract was canceled during Covid, the ranchers opted to sell the farm and retire, but were left with a barn full of wool and no buyer. We were introduced by a shepherd friend and through the support of folks putting down deposits on wholesale bumps, we were able to purchase their entire final clip. Their fleeces have been lovingly milled here at Wool for the People, and the resulting roving dyed in house. Lofty and woolly with Targhee's signature soft hand, this roving is easy to spin and wears beautifully. This roving has a medium-high amount of VM, but most of it large and easy to remove while spinning
