Materials

hand-dyed carded batts of Romney wool

What was your inspiration?

The batts from which I spun this yarn had been dyed by Rhonda Selser (of Ewe Mom's, DeRidder, LA) from wool she sheered and carded from her own Romney sheep. What was so intriguing to me was they way in which she had dyed the pound of batts. It was hard to resist the lovely shades of red, too.
