Thanks, Gail. I was afraid that would be the answer. Unfortunately, I can't go back to the seller on this, it was a couple years ago and I didn't get around to using it until now. I'll have to go through the whole batch, hopefully there is some that can be used. This was put up in roving balls, I would think that would be professionally done, I'm surprised a processor would handle this stuff. That purchase also included a lot of wool roving. That stuff is so dirty/dusty that I have to wash it before I can use it, but it is useable. I had intended for both these rovings to be used in rugs, not for spinning, so I wasn't too upset about the dirt. I'll just use the junky mohair for some experimenting with the rugweaving. I want to try some dyeing and felting ideas that I wouldn't want to do with good, expensive fiber. Thanks for helping.
