I bought this wool from a Michigan shepherd I know. She blended the wool of several different colored sheep from her flock. I overdyed the mottled roving with professional acid dyes. The result is a blend of black and terracotta which reminds me of the soil here in Georgia. I then spun it into a chunky, very soft and lofty 2-ply yarn.
