The sheep are two beautiful Dutch Spotted x Suffolk ewes named Dilly and Whitney. I carefully sorted and skirted their fleeces, choosing only the best fibres. The wool is carded at Rampisham Hill Mill in Dorset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis carded preparation is perfect for true woollen spinning with a backwards long draw, which will give a bouncy, airy yarn. The fibre has some rustic texture and is very springy. Whitney's wool is light grey, has a longer stable and is slightly coarser but is easier to spin fine and consistent. Dilly's is deep peppery charcoal with a shorter staple and a bit more bounce and crimp.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #404040;\"\u003eIf multiple quantities are ordered of the same fibre these may be delivered as a single length.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marina Skua","offers":[{"title":"Dilly","offer_id":57530752434551,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whitney","offer_id":57530752467319,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/2924\/2713\/files\/Marina_Skua_Dutch_Spotted_x_Suffolk_sliver_Whitney.jpg?v=1791897500"},{"product_id":"caledonia-tilth-blend-hand-dyed-british-wool-tops","title":"Caledonia – Tilth blend hand-dyed British wool tops","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #404040;\"\u003eHand-dyed wool tops for spinning – approx. 100g. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #404040;\"\u003eThis spinning fibre is exclusively blended for me from naturally coloured native British breeds, creating a dark, moody blend with a salt-and-pepper feel.
