Hi Dianne, >>Sometimes the producers actually get fooled too because they think they have >>done a good job skirting and the way the machines work when the fiber comes >>back the edges don't have the vm -- it all falls inside somehow.<<
That's exactly where the VM was found. Some of the smaller bits made their way to the outside of the roving. The larger bits, over an inch, were in the middle, looking as if they'd been moved there by the carding process. The bump was lighter than 8 oz. when I received it. I chalked it up to the 'approx.' half pound description. I didn't expect to wind up with almost less than 2 oz. due to the VM. I know how to look at fiber and examine it for defects and VM. This time I based my purchase on the web site. It's gorgeous. It's set up well, and does a good job at showing the products for sale. Descriptions were succinct. They just failed to mention the amount of VM in the fiber. OOps. :) Thank you for your reply. It was a great help. wrnk d2 (off to contact a certain vendor)
