Local Fibres, Natural Colours Batch One: 40% “Missy” Southdown x Cheviot 40% “Fran” Mystery Burn Pile wool 20% “Cisco” Burn Pile Alpaca Singles / Approx 100g / 130m / 8 WPI The Des ign: This batch was a fun test! Shelterwood Fibre Mill had just opened and I was eager to work with Chip and Johanna. I grabbed a few bags of wool off the shelf that would blend together to make something poofy and bit rustic, as poofy/rustic wools have my heart. Icelandic lopi is my first love and is what I started with when I learned to spin, so having a ready-to-knit local equivalent feels right at home. This wool is light and lofty, just a bit scritchy and blooms like a champ. Milled at Shelterwood Fibre Mill in Vernon, BC Show more
