100% Polwarth Spinning Fiber, 4oz Color 25-02

100% Polwarth wool  This listing is for 4 oz of hand dyed spinning fiber. 

Polwarth, Lofty warmth with lasting beauty

Polwarth sheep were originally developed in Australia crossing Merino sheep (75%) and Lincoln sheep (25%) producing a fleece that is a perfect blend of soft and strong.  A longer staple length (4-6 inches) makes for easy spinning. Polwarth has a bounce soft crimp that traps warmth while remaining light weight.  This bounce also yields a yarn that has good memory which is ideal for hand knit garments from socks to sweaters. 

All fibers are carefully dyed with professional acid dyes in my smoke free cat friendly home studio.

All fibers are ethically sourced from areas where mulsing is not practiced 

Each hand dyed braid of fiber is unique. Even within the same dye lot there can be variances. Though I try to keep good notes and keep this to a minimum, I cannot guarantee against it. If you are working on a larger project it is recommended that you alternate between two different braids to minimize the visual effect of this variance.

Minimal bleeding may occur with the first wash or two. Please wash separately. I recommend that you hand wash all hand knits to insure longevity. Wash in water that is room temperature using a detergent specifically for wool such as Eucalan or Soak.

Every effort is made to represent colors in their truest form. Please understand that colors may show up slightly different due to variations in computer monitors.

If you require a larger quantity than what is currently available. I do my best to schedule a bit of extra time for custom orders in my dye schedule. Feel free to reach out to me and we will see what we can arrange.
