Corriedale Fleece

Corriedale Fleece

Corriedale Fleece Extreme Close-Up

4.6 pounds, although I'll apparently lose quite a bit once I wash it. I love the way the color changes from black to caremelly brown so suddenly; I hope I can preserve that when I spin it.

Undyed Pygora



Purchased at Madrona after three days of oohing and ahhing. This is the softest thing I've ever felt. 2 oz.

Undyed Corriedale



8 oz. of Crown Mountain Farms Corriedale. I'm doing this as a 3-ply, and I'll dye it once I'm done plying. One bobbin spun up so far, and the rest are waiting until I get a jumbo flyer unit for plying larger quantities.

Cumulus



Some white mystery fiber that came with my wheel; this stuff is fluffy and unbearably soft. I may try dyeing the yarn after I've spun it up. 4.2 oz.
