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.
