We are excited to report that we now have 100% llama rovings for spinning, felting and other crafts available for your purchase through our Etsy store, heartsongllamas. We had sent our llama fleeces to two different mini-mills that had been recommended to us by other llama breeders for processing into rovings, batts, felted batts and yarn. The first group of fleeces have returned to us from Spinderellas (Utah) as beautiful rovings and batts.

It is intriguing how each individual fleece has its own unique characteristics, but no matter which llama the fiber came from, the rovings are all very, very soft. To give you opportunity to check out several, we put fiber samplers together that include rovings from FFF Mas Chiri, Cresta Butte MWF and LUA Annabell Status. You can also purchase larger quantities of rovings from any of these three llamas.

For Betty's fleeces, we had batts made. They are oh, so luxurious, if I may say so myself! I can't wait to try spinning from one of these. I'll include some photos below. You can also learn more about the rovings and the llamas who produced them at our Etsy store. And, of course, you can always make a visit to the farm website: www.dawnofpromisefarm.com.

We'll post more at the Etsy store when Mystic Water Fiber Mill has the felted batts and yarn ready to go! We think they are getting close since they called the other day to talk with us about desired yarn weights. They are spinning fiber from the following llamas into yarn: LUA Holiday Status, DDH's Gisele, LUA Bravado's Cierra, SVL Llovely Llana and we combined the following mother/son fleeces (super fine and soft) into one yarn - Hard Rock's Silver Fortune and Hard Rock's Primary Colors. Mystic Water was along our route to Minnesota for a fishing trip so we loaded up the vehicle with llama fleeces along with the fishing poles and tackle box!
