They are descended from Leicester sheep imported from England in the 18th century. Worldwide it remains a rare breed, and is listed as priority by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. Galway wool has been hard to obtain, only recently became available to us. Our Galway is a medium-grade wool with diameter of 28-33 microns and staple length of 2.75-3.5\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur rovings are dyed with fairly even distribution of colors. Photos are of each side of the coil, so you can see as much of the color as possible. These are the same rovings from which Ilga spins her yarns, so we dye them for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe name our braids based on the inspirations we get from the colors, drawing on nature, literature, mythology, geography, and our lives and travels. Braids with the same name numbered sequentially are a matched set that were dyed together, although they may have different weights and look slightly different in the photos. Each colorway is unique; we may sometimes repeat names, when a new colorway strikes us the same way as an older one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiber: Galway wool\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 4.1 ounces, 116 g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edgewood Garden Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48912569336027,"sku":null,"price":21.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0879\/files\/frontETSY_7d97a6ec-69b4-40f2-bf7b-6d61a4c4269e.jpg?v=1782535179","url":"https:\/\/edgewoodgardenstudio.com\/en-ca\/products\/galway-wool-roving-before-the-curtain-rises-2-4-1-ounces","provider":"Edgewood Garden Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
