Mohair Fiber
Our Mohair roving is created from the fleeces grown by our Colored Angora Goats. We wash and dye the fleeces, then send them to a local fiber mill to be carded into roving. Wool, which offers more elasticity than Mohair, is blended into our roving, making it easier to spin. The brilliant dyeing capabilities of Mohair combined with the benefits wool brings to the blend, results in a stunning handspun yarn, suitable for many projects.The names of the goats and sheep who contributed their fleeces are listed with each roving. Additional wool fleeces that are not raised by Steam Valley, come from other regional sheep farms who practice sustainable farming.
