Handspinning
Roving

At Starcroft Fiber Mill, we gently wash the Nash Island
fleeces in biodegradable soaps to remove grease, dirt
and the occasional bit of seaweed or sea shells.  The
cleaned fibers are then machine-carded into roving for
handspinning.  We hand-dye the roving using a special
dying method that creates a variegated color.  

When spun up and knitted or woven, the multi-toned
roving creates a fabric with light and dark highlights
playing on a single color, which is quite beautiful.  For
the adventuresome dyer, we also carry Nash Island
Roving in natural pure white.
