Wool Batt Spinning Bundle ~ "Sweet Cherry Bark"
Sweet Cherry Bark is a dark batt with subtle hints of pinks and darker reds. February is the time to prune your cherry trees and while climbing the trees, it is easy to wonder at the sweet fruit that will be growing in just four months.
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 5 oz (142 grams) of wool :
3 oz (85 grams) : A generous spinning batt of Haunui combed top, Sugarcandy merino, Shetland combed top "Bilbo", Romney mohair, and mulberry silk. 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 oz (28 grams) : A luxuriously soft braid of Haunui wool; dark brown.
1 oz (28 grams) : A super soft braid of exquisite Haunui wool; rich brown coloured.
With the total 5 oz (1 grams) of fibre...depending on how you spin, there may be enough fibre to make one pair of regular socks; or enough to make a hat.
*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.
