"Bought eight ounces to experiment with and immediately went ahead and ordered more to spin for a larger scale project. It spins beautifully and isnt scratchy. I can easily say its been a favorite to spin."

"This Hebridean Too wool came super fast and looked exactly like the photo. I am so excited to get spinning it. It’s soft yet cozy and still has that fluffy wool texture. I am purchasing a my wool from here"

"Loved it"
Gorgeous and worth it!
"Stunning wool to spin! It's a very deep dark brown/black in person, but from a distance truly looks fully black! I regret only buying one bag right now. I was very pleasantly surprised by how softly it drafted, and spun into a single worsted 3/4 weight yarn on my drop spindle so nicely! On my softness scale, 1 being rough enough for rugs and 10 being softer than angel feathers, I rate this a 4-5, very middle of the road. And I am very sensitive, so others may find it even softer than I do. I would love to make my own winter coat out of this someday, but that would be such a long term project! About half the bag spun up into 115 yards 3-4 weight worsted single."

Fun Spin
"It is nice to have a chance to spin up this Hebridean Top as part of my sheep breed spin study. I appreciate that the Woolery has different fibers that I can try spinning."
