Hand dyed 100% Purebred Vancouver Island Hampshire pindrafted roving, per 100 gram braid
What a friendly wool! I've never spun Hampshire before, so this wool is going right to the top of my "must spin" list. It's very cuddly, has a lively, bouncy hand, and will be great for either woollen or worsted spun yarns. I'm thinking socks with all of that bounce!
Hampshire sheep are a Down-type breed and are very common on Vancouver Island. A lot of their wool isn't utilized and what a shame! It's a very versatile wool, and in addition to great socks, it should also be fantastic for cable work. This wool is a natural ecru/cream.
(Felting tests to come!)
Price per 100 gram braid.
