Wool Batt Spinning Bundle ~ "Serac"
The icy blues of a deep serac inspired this particular bundle. White greys streaked with lite blue create the image of a pinnacle of glacial ice, known as a "Serac". Wool Maiden selects the finest combinations of luxuriously soft combed tops to create a one-of-a-kind spinning batt that is paired with two woolly braids.
The spinning bundle consists of a total of 6 oz (170 grams) of wool :
3 oz (85 grams) : A generous spinning batt of Merino, Yak, and silk, alpaca merino, Corriedale, and Gotland. This has passed through the drum carder twice so it is not fully or evenly blended allowing for subtle nuances as you spin, creating a yarn full of individuality and character.
1.5 oz (42.5 grams) : A luxuriously silky braid of Merino and Mulberry Silk braid; dyed variations of deep blues with a hint of tourmaline blue.
1.5 oz (42.5 grams) : A super soft braid of grey Shetland and silk.
With the total 6 oz (170 grams) of fibre...depending on how you spin, there may be enough fibre to make one pair of regular socks and one pair of shorty socks; or enough to make a hat and shorty socks; or a cowl; or a thick pair of adult socks.
*Combed wool top is processed fine wool in which the fibres are combed in a parallel direction resulting in a finished, smooth top, free of noils or shorter fibres. This helps make your spinning faster and rather effortless, with the ability to produce a finer, thinner yarn.
Fibres ~ Big batt : Merino, Yak, and Silk, Alpaca Merino, Corriedale, and Gotland. Colourful braid : Merino and Mulberry Silk. Shetland Silk braid.
