Description
 
This beautiful Targhee wool is available in two different preparations. The Mountain Top is Combed top in typical Roving form which is perfect for spinning. Or we offer the X-Large Raw style Roving which is about 4 inches wide with some vegetation present as it hasn't been combed, somewhat like a "batt" form.

Sweet Grass Wool offers a premium Combed Top from Targhee Sheep raised in the Montana-Wyoming area. Combed Top has been through a French comb which combs the fibers, leaving them parallel. This makes a worsted spun yarn-the strongest yarn. Our combed top has been through a thorough scouring process, leaving the natural bright, white wool as clean as possible. The Wool is approximately 60ct. When compared to our 64ct Merino Top the carded style is about the same softness but has incredible spring! This is one of our most treasured new fibers here at the shop.

Wonderful Worsted March 23, 2008
Reviewer: Ann Pierce from Woodbury, TN United States  
Ah, combed Targhee, where have you been all my life? This, in my book, spins into the ultimate sweater yarn. I have not played with it in the dye bath, as it is such a lovely, pure white it seems a shame to tarnish it. Easy to spin, ply and knit; who could ask for more?

Targhee wool December 29, 2007
Reviewer: Marcia Wine from Onalaska, WI United States  
This beautiful  Targhee wool  took me back to the Targhee sheep I raised 20+ years ago.  It has the same, soft, lustrous sheen but is easier to spin than mine was because my animals had a penchant for finding burdock.  Thank you for providing this great product.

Targhee November 24, 2007
Reviewer: Susan Slater from Spokane, WA United States  
Whether I want something simple or a challenge, your suggestions are always helpful. The Targhee top you suggested this time was perfect for the project I had in mind and I hope the recipient enjoys making something out of the yarn. Thank you so much and keep up the hard work.

Targhee top November 7, 2007
Reviewer: Angelina Fagan from Austin, TX United States  
I absolutely LOVED spinning this fiber. It took the dyes wonderfully, and spun into a lofty, dense yarn. The sproing factor was 5 stars alone!
