I had a really hard time spinning this; there were lots of bits of very sort fibers and it made my yarn break so often. Pretty coarse.
This fiber is super easy for beginners. It’s not super soft but has great depth with the white, black, and brown mixture.
It's a beautiful black and brown color, a little coarse, and worked beautifully for a felting project I had.
This Black Welsh Mountain Top has a lovely blend of black and brown. The roving is a little course but soft to the touch. Fun Stuff!
While purchasing this fiber I was informed that it is more of an "outer wear" garment. I'mnot so sure about that, it's lovely! That being said, I personally perfer the wool feel to my wool yarn. The Viber spins like a dream. The hand feel is nice, smooth. I am totally in love with the colour. If you get a chance, look up this breed, very, very interesting Thank you PF for bringing new to us fibers to expand our experiences
