Fibre Grab Bags, FREE SHIPPING IN USA, Sheep and Goat, Angora, Mohair, various Dog Hair, Raw fleece and Rovings by Alba Ranch

Description

I do a Fibre Grab Bag in order to allow some spinners the opportunity to try many fibres in various stages of process without having to purchase large amounts till they are sure what they like. I have included some pictures of some of the animals that are on my ranch and will be donating fibre for the grab bags.

Your Grab Bag will consist of at least 5 different types of Fibre at a minimum but I may include more if I have a surplus of one type. (Unless you request specific types and quantities.) I may have Raw, Rovings, lightly washed wool locks or any combination of that. I will send a variety of fibres to give a full learning experience not just the same of everything.

The fibres that may be included would be as follows:

Newly Added: Angora Bunny Fibre, white and coloured
Lincoln Long Wools....both white and coloured
Wensleydale...white
Teeswater/Cotswold....white
White Adult Mohair
White Young Adult Mohair
Coloured Mohair...red, grey, black, blue...adult or kid
Great Pyrenese
Border collie...coloured and white
Australian Shepherd...white
Soon to be coming....St. Bernard!!
Mystery fibres...can't remember what they are! (sheep wool)
Blends of the Sheep Fleeces and Mohair

and the occasional find that I may have purchased but not used it all so included in various parcels.

I generally use the 1 quart/1 gallon Zip baggies, but also plastic grocery type bags for rovings as rovings are light and airy. I don't like to smash rovings and because of that they take up too much space for the gallon bags to give a quantity worth working with. I write what it is on the outside for easy reference. I will send a minimum of 1 pound of fibre total with all the samples combined but may include more depending on supplies while they last.

If you have special requests for a particular fibre, I can include more of that one (if available) over others. just convo me as I will make some of them up as they sell, not necessarily have them all pre made so I can sort of customize your grab bag within limits of what I have available.

The sheep and the goats all have coats to wear these days which keeps their fleeces remarkable clean of VM, but some of the kids refuse to keep them on so their fibre is not always as pristine as the adults. Blasted Kids!!

We are a smoke free ranch, but we do have critters, dogs, cats, chickens, angora rabbits, sheeps and goats. so far no one other than me spins, so they shouldn't be playing with your fibres!!
