Hi Fibernetters,
I'm fondling some special naturally colored roving from falklandwool.com,
planning a Ron Schweitzer Fair Isle in my mind, and I started to wonder,
what exactly is "Falkland wool"? I see a lot of people advertising it,
something called "Falkland roving" shows up frequently on ebay, etc. I got
mine from Rosemary W., but surely there is more than one fiber producing
farm in the Falklands?
(Rosemary, are you on this list? Can you clarify?)
I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the roving that Rosemary
produces is made from half or quarterbred merinos - is this some kind of
special breed different from, say, a Corriedale, Polwarth, or some other
part-Merino animal? I mean, what makes Falkland wool different from, say,
American wool?
Confused,
-j.
