Breed Specific Wools

Shetland Moorit Top:  $10.65 per 1/2lb.  #119301

Polwarth Top:  $11.00 per 1/2 lb.  #119459
Polwarth sheep are a cross between Merino and Lincoln breeds.  Polwarths are found primarily in Australia and South America (where they are called Ideals).  This wool is from South America.  Staple length of the Ideals is less than their Australian cousins; but still long at between 4.5 and 5 inches.  At 23.55 microns, this gives you a fantastic combination of length and softness.  The wool is also very white and open.

Ideas for Use:

• Separate out all the colors into groups of color. For spinners - open the fibre out and spin a soft single thread. Use for weaving or ply with a fine cotton, silk or commercial woolen thread to strengthen the yarn for knitting. The fine thread will be almost hidden in the yarn and won't obscure the fabulous colors. 
• Use the beautiful shiny staples for extra texture in handwoven fabrics. 
• Handknot the staples into beautiful rugs or wall hangings. 
• Felters - use the colored staples as surface decoration. They look fantastic lightly felted into the surface of a natural color felt. 

Yak Top: Dark, very soft fiber, combed. The undercoat is similar to Cashmere but darker, almost charcoal...$7.50 an ounce  #159121

Cream Yak Top: Cream, very soft, combed.  Similar to cashmere...$9.00 an ounce  #159146

Cashmere Clouds:  Natural white, very soft, de-haired.  From Minnesota.  $15.00 per ounce.
