I love a good cross- the merino softness comes through with a little toothiness from the Corriedale and combs and cards with ease. The last photo shows this fiber spun from a combed prep- it was a dream to prep and spin! Please note that the listing is for the fiber only.
Breed Note
This cross brings together two celebrated wool breeds: the fine, soft fleece of the Spanish-origin Merino and the medium-wool characteristics of the New Zealand-developed Corriedale. The result is a scrumptious balance of softness, natural crimp, and structure.
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.
