Corriedale is technically classified as a medium wool, but this fleece definitely feels like a fine wool! This is the softest Corriedale I've worked with and I bet it would be a delicious spin: soft with a just a hint of grippiness.
Breed Note
Developed in New Zealand by crossing Merino with Lincoln Longwool sheep, the Corriedale combines traits from fine-wool and longwool breeds. Its medium-wool fleece is known for its soft feel and versatility.
How is the fiber processed?
MIA/ FIBER features the best parts of the fleece so they are ready for their next adventure with fellow makers! The fleece is skirted (short and dirty pieces along with debris are removed), then washed with Unicorn products to remove the lanolin and dirt. Some vegetable (VM) matter will remain and the level is noted in each listing.
