Merino, Fine 50/Cultivated Silk 50
50% Fine Merino / 50% Cultivated Silk
Our friend Ted suggested we try this blend from Weaver Creek Fibers, and it's absolutely amazing! Also called Bombyx or Mulberry silk, this shiny silk is blended with 21-micron Fine Merino in a combed top that is lovely, clean and a delight to spin. Dyes well before or after spinning. We think it's the best silk/merino blend on the market and good value to boot. Quite different from the usual Merino/Tussah Silk blends.

Wool 60/Flax 40 (Top)
60% Wool / 40% Flax
Very clean combed top in an interesting heathered blend of ash-grey, soft tan and cream. Staple length is around 5 to 6 inches. This blend is softer than you might imagine, with what is obviously a Finewool of some type and a good grade of flax. It seems well-prepared and should be easy to spin. We wonder if it might just work for lace weight yarn. Feels plenty soft enough for midrange to outerwear garments.
This could be dyed with acid dyes for a streaky effect. Might it work for felting??
