Jan,

Here is a sample of the purple yarn you asked me to try to duplicate. What do you think? Does it have too much white? Would you like me to send you a sample?

Also, look at the picture of the roving of fine wool, mohair and tussah silk noils. Do you like that? I can also send you a sample.

This yarn has been SOLD.

Woolderness will be posting "custom-blended" roving -- for that special project! If you are not a spinner, we will spin it for you.

This is a blend of fine wool, mohair and tussah silk noils. This spins up into a beautiful, soft yarn!

Roving: $3.50/ounce

Yarn: $6/ounce
