{"product_id":"color-me-happy-back-home-again-roving","title":"Color Me Happy - Back Home Again Roving","description":"\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eRoving made from the fleece of Cormo sheep raised in Westfield Indiana by the Westfield Woolies. The sheep were sheared in the spring of 2025 and the fiber was then milled into roving by a small mill in Ohio in July.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eCormo is a fine, soft wool, with beautiful crimp. This makes the resulting yarn soft and springy with good memory. After cleaning, some vegetable material (e.g., bits of hay) may remain — both because the wool is so thick and because the mill uses just soap and water for cleaning. This is in contrast to commercial wool processing that uses sulfuric acid and heat (carbonization) to burn off vegetable material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eBack Home Again wool roving is as close to the natural fiber as you can get without shearing the sheep and processing the wool yourself! And you are supporting several small businesses at the same time — Westfield Woolies, the shearer, the mill, and Color Me Happy, and us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eEach mini “bump” of roving is about 4 oz and is made from the fleece of an individual sheep who vary by heritage. All are next-to-skin soft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eWendy is a full cormo sheep.
