Please EXPECT variation between braids. It is very difficult to capture all the nuances in semisolids, especially to have them translate to different monitors and screens. The photo is representative of the colorway and accurate on my phone and computer screens.
About the fibers:
- Corriedale wool combed top. Elastic, with a medium/soft hand, at 25-30 microns. Great for spinning a nice, bouncy yarn, and all types of felting. A favorite of needle felters. Colors are quite rich on this lovely fiber.
- Polwarth wool combed top. 22-25 microns and a longer staple makes for a lovely spinning experience. Polwarth is quite skin friendly.
- Falkland Islands Merino wool combed top. 20-22 microns. This Falkland is so soft and silky!! It has the characteristic bright whiteness, and makes for a lovely spin, skin friendly and easy drafting.
- Silky, shiny Bluefaced Leicester wool combed top. The softest of the long wools, BFL has a lovely sheen and yields a drapey yarn.
- BFL Swirl- natural brown and ecru Bluefaved Leicester ribbons in combed top. A high quality preparation, smooth and without nepps. A joyful spin which will yield a subtle, nuanced yarn.
- Targhee wool combed top. A lovely spin, with a fine yet powerful crimp. Your yarn will have lots of trapped air and a wonderful elasticity. Targhee is super skin friendly, too! Grown and processed in the USA.
- 18.5 micron Merino wool combed top. This base is one of my favorites. It is extremely soft yet has a little body. It’s easy to spin, having just enough tooth to not slip through your fingers, and the staple length is just right. It’s also a favorite of wet and nuno felters.
- 50/25/25 23 micron Merino wool/tussah silk/flax combed top. Wide stripes of silk and flax with sweet Merino wool in a combed top preparation. Your yarn will be rustic and full of character. Shiny silk grabs the dye vividly, while the flax remains its natural color. This base is a favorite of art yarn spinners, weavers and felters for it’s interesting textures. Try corespinning it, you will be delighted!
