"Second batch I ordered; it was less soft than the first batch I ordered a couple of months ago, but perhaps stricken lonk tends to be variable? I removed one star simply because I prefer consistency with my wools. Still a very nice medium wool. I spun my first full hank of 3 ply with this! See Photo. Great for beginners!!"
"This wool spun up to being very light weight while also being very warm! I used to to make a wheelchair blanket for myself. I also made a bandana for a friend, and a little makeup bag for my mother. It takes dye very nicely as well! 500g spun up into 464 yards of medium weight single ply yarn. I find it softer than Hill Radnor, Corriedale, and Cheviot, as well as drafting better with less slippages. The other wools I find would slip as I was drafting, resulting in less-consistent diameters throughout. I'd love to blend this with some bamboo or other cellulous fibers in future!"
