Alpaca/Merino – Rowan Berry
$10.50 – $42.90
30% baby Alpaca (21.5-micron) / 70% Merino wool (22-micron), by Ashford of New Zealand.
Lovely and clean combed top/sliver. In New Zealand this is what they call our Mountain Ash tree, and the colours are vibrant just like the berries. This has streaks of burnt orange, silvery-white, caramel and a wee touch of crimson. Suitable for both spinning and felting: Alpaca felts beautifully, particularly when blended with Merino.

Fine Merino – Acacia
100% fine 19-micron Merino wool. Beautiful and clean combed top.
Very soft ivory-beige with a hint of apricot, a bit more yellowy than the photo shows. This should be useful as a "flesh" tone for needle-felted dolls and other 3D figures, but of course also great for general felting and spinning. The closest colour in this line to compare with Ashford's Corriedale Blush.
