It is an excellent example of how wonderful Suffolk can be! Roving processed by Skagit Woolen Works in Mount Vernon, WA.  It does have a fair bit of vegetable matter present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind the Adult dyed roving here: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/whimsicalcolors.com\/products\/handdyed-honeycomb-adult-suffolk-roving?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc\u0026amp;pr_rec_id=132569ad2\u0026amp;pr_rec_pid=10195681083689\u0026amp;pr_ref_pid=9725492560169\u0026amp;pr_seq=uniform\" title=\"Handdyed Adult Suffolk Roving\"\u003eHanddyed Adult Suffolk Roving\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFind the undyed Suffolk rovings here: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/whimsicalcolors.com\/products\/honeycomb-suffolk-roving\" title=\"Honeycomb Suffolk Roving - undyed\"\u003eHoneycomb Suffolk Roving\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whimsical Colors Yarn","offers":[{"title":"Greens","offer_id":67669875261737,"sku":"62322","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lake Blues","offer_id":67669875294505,"sku":"62259","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Leaves of Autumn","offer_id":67669875327273,"sku":"62274","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Berry Bowl","offer_id":67669875360041,"sku":"62321","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Partly Cloudy Skies","offer_id":67669875392809,"sku":"62076","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/3469\/0857\/files\/LakeBlues.jpg?v=1792644544","url":"https:\/\/whimsicalcolors.com\/products\/handdyed-honeycomb-fine-suffolk-roving-copy","provider":"Whimsical Colors Yarn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
