Gotland Wool Washed and Ready to Spin or Card 4 oz SOFT

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 16:01:52 -0500

$16.00
I fell in love with Gotland many years ago for the color and curl. Luckily, I've found a wonderful supplier who breeds for exquisite hand and silkiness.

This gorgeous fleece is charcoal, touched with brown and white. There is tons of curl galore and can be spun from the lock or used as is in my favorite, lockspun yarns. OR, use these curls for felting. Gotland is loved the world over by felters for it's silky hand and quick hardening.

I have gently washed this fleece by hand and picked out any large debris that was with it. I is exceptionally clean and free of vm.

This fleece is also available carded. There are just over three pounds available. If you'd like more than is listed, just let me know and we can create a custom listing for you. The more you buy, the less the cost.

Items ship on Saturday and Tuesdays.

Note that all monitors show colors a little differently.

All fibers come from a smoke and animal free home, although the angelina I use has been known to multiply in warm woolly places:)

Organic Sock Roving, Suffolk/Hampshire Blend 6.2 oz Blue, Pink, White

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:02:51 -0400

$18.60
One of my favorite fibers, this Organic Suffolk/Hampshire cross roving is fun to spin, lovely to knit and easy to take care of.

Grown on an organic farm in the mid-west, its quantity is limited. Although it is of low micron, it is not like you're probably used to spinning. The curly structure of the lock, versus the normal crimp most wool sheep have, makes it feel coarser than it is until it is spun and washed. The suffolk makes it a non-felting wool. I love it for socks!

Pink, White & Blue all combine nicely on this roving. Lots here for socks, mittens or other outerwear products.

Hand dyed, by me, it is ready to spin by you!
