Naturally dark pure British Zwartbles wool carded sliver – approx. 100g. 

This carded preparation is perfect for true woollen spinning with a backwards long draw, which will give a bouncy, airy yarn. The fibre has a lot of crimp and some rustic texture. The rich, dark brown has tiny flecks of grey for subtle visual interest. 

The wool is from a smallholding just a couple of villages away here in south-west Wiltshire, and was going to be used as compost. I carefully sorted and skirted it, choosing only the best fibres. The wool is carded at Rampisham Hill Mill in Dorset.

If multiple quantities are ordered these will be delivered as a single length.

100% British wool

This wool top is custom blended for me at a small family-run mill in Gloucestershire. The fibres are British breeds wool from farms across the UK, in a range of beautiful sheepy colours.

The fibres I use are completely natural, with no plastic fibers or superwash process involved, so it will biodegrade naturally over time, along with anything you create from it.

Hand-dyed

My hand-dyed spinning fibre is dyed in small batches by me from my studio/home in Wiltshire, UK. While the dyes used are synthetic, for repeatability and colour-fastness, they are always non toxic.

I’m committed to sustainability, so I reuse dye water as many times as possible and make sure no dye run-off enters the water system.

Sustainable packaging

These hand-dyed wool tops are a 100% natural fibre, so all orders are shipped in biodegradable, plastic-free packaging.

Everything contained in a parcel from Marina Skua is recyclable and home-compostable, so what has come from the earth can be harmlessly returned to it.
