Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:19:46 -0400

$9.95
You are looking at an irresistible blend of 50% white angora + 50% green olive blend superwash merino wool which is a dream to spin. It will flow out of your hand. The result yarn will have tons of halo, almost as much as my pure angora. At the same time, you have more strength and easiness to spin from the merino. It won't felt as much as pure angora + regular merino. Great as sock yarn. It is super soft. You can see an example of my finished yarn with grayish to black and white tweed color. (Yarn not included). If you are afraid of spinning pure angora, give this a try!

Each lot is at least 2.50 oz of fiber in 1 big batt or mini batts form.

Have this in other color as well. Let me know what tone you might be interested, including:
- Earth tone
- Turquoise blue
- Olive Green
- light cream
- Black
- and many more!

Please e-mail me for smaller or larger quantity :)

$3.00 first class or $6.00 priority shipping.

If you never spin, I have many beautiful precious stone drop spindles to offer.
