please note: animal-friendly fiber is minimally processed and often contains little bits of VM (veggie matter); it usually spins out quite easily, but if this is something that you cannot or do not want to handle, please opt for one of our handpainted combed tops or rovings, or batts without animal-friendly wool instead.
