If fairies raised wool...
I'm not a very experienced spinner, so it took me a little while to get used this wool, because it's quite different from the alpaca I've been working with lately, but I'm so happy with it! It's the softest stuff, but with straight fiber that drafts like a dream. I've achieved my most even spun single with it, and the finished yarn is also wonderfully soft, very smooth to the touch. The wool is so clean and perfect that if it weren't for the extremely rare tiny bit of vm, I would swear it had never touched a sheep. This is my new favorite breed, and my new favorite fiber supplier!
