This is another bag of roving, from those that I purchased from Griffiths Mill at The Staffordshire County Show. For the fact that Gotland is supposed to be soft, long stapled fleece, this roving has quite a lot of short fibres in it and also is not what I would call soft at all. It feels a little crisp/prickly to me.
Spun up as one single and left as such I have 235m from 100g of roving. Its OK, but not at all what I was expecting after reading such wonderful reviews about Gotland Fleece. Maybe one day I will try preparing it myself from a fleece and see if that makes a difference to the final yarn.
