STARRY NIGHT - Van Gogh Inspired Wool Texture Blend - 2.5 oz
STARRY NIGHT - Van Gogh Inspired Wool Texture Blend - 2.5 oz
A 2.5 ounce blend of rare wool and cardable texture fibers for creating art batts, rolags, or other blends to spin into yarn for knitting, weaving, and crochet. One pinch goes a long way! Each bag is subtly different due to the size of the texture and nuance in the dyed bits.
In this LIMITED EDITION handcrafted blend you'll find:
- Rare churro wool mallows
- Fine silky longwool locks (possibly angora goat)
- Dyed fine wool nepps with sparkle
- Gold aluminum thread
- Recycled thread blend
- Hand-dyed nylon
- Recycled novelty threads
Churro sliver (roving) is grown and sourced in the USA is on the Shave em to Save em Livestock Conservancy list.
I've conditioned the churro in Unicorn Fibre Rinse to soften and improve the handle of this beginner-friendly delightful medium heritage wool.
