Someone left me a comment about my Fairywool from Switzerland and she said it is coarse (it is but seems to spin well)..and not good for plying with itself but is good to use with something else (& for needle felting as you said too) so I'm thinking I could ply with a single of my other yarn..forget how to spell Borderleister...grin...told you I Maggie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991999931680942893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424570.post-1160857714732276772006-10-14T13:28:00.000-07:002006-10-14T13:28:00.000-07:00Maggie, it might be soft "looking", but it is not ...<B>Maggie</B>, it might be soft "looking", but it is not soft. In fact it is rather scratchy and coarse. It's a poor grade of wool for sure. I accepted the free wool so that I could experiment with dyeing techniques.Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670952038534759102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424570.post-1160794273667017542006-10-13T19:51:00.000-07:002006-10-13T19:51:00.000-07:00Your roving is so soft looking...and the color is ...Your roving is so soft looking...and the color is very pretty! And to think you started from scratch...wow. btw...(I got to thinking about this..) the video clip wasn't the first spinning wheel I ever saw in action...but the first one I have ever had a keen interest in (& therefore noticed)...smile.

It is not commercially prepared top. It's a fleece from a rather coarse "down breed" (meat sheep) that I was given free. It is the same fleece I made my "Shy Sheep Vest" from.Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670952038534759102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424570.post-1160704054353937952006-10-12T18:47:00.000-07:002006-10-12T18:47:00.000-07:00In your picture...is this roving combed?
