Alpaca/Merino – Frost
30% baby Alpaca (21.5-micron) / 70% Merino wool (22-micron), by Ashford of New Zealand.
Lovely and clean combed top/sliver. A fairly thourough blend of both creamy-white Merino with Alpaca, not especially streaky but lovely and soft to the touch. Would be great for dyeing, if you wish. Suitable for both spinning and felting: Alpaca felts beautifully, particularly when blended with Merino.

Corriedale – Dark (Top)
Classification: MEDIUM WOOL
Very clean combed top, rich chocolate-brown with a slight amount of grey. We always highly recommend Corriedale for beginning spinners, because it's easy-to-handle and neither too short or too long. Well-suited for midrange, outerwear and non-garment uses.
Micron count for Corriedale can vary, but this supply is among the softest you will find, at 30, with a staple length of 3.5 to 4 inches. Felting properties are very good.
We carry many colours as well, see Fibres> Dyed Roving & Top> Wool> Ashford Corriedale.

Corriedale Amethyst
This is a rich, somewhat muted dark plum-purple. Dyed 30 micron Corriedale wool top from Ashford of New Zealand.
