4 ounces of domestic blend wool roving

Domestic 56s Wool Top, 29.5 micron. The wool is collected from Fleece State area of U.S. wool production, predominantly black face meat sheep. The area is all the states east of the Mississippi and any state west of it that is not split by the Continental Divide. The soil generally makes it difficult to get the whitest fiber.

I use this roving on a regular basis, it is what I used when I learned how to spin. I also use it when teaching beginners, as it has a longer staple length (about 4, 4 1/2") and drafts well.
