Pollination - long wools + fine wools - it's all about hand spinning yarn

Pollination is an amazing, soft, long wool blend that will hand spin and felt. This cloud of fiber is easy to spin and the colors are engaging.

100% made in the USA from homegrown, hand washed, dyed, blended and carded Border Leicester, Cormo x Polypay, BFL and Alpaca fibers

This listing is for 16 ounces of carded wool blend ready for spinning or felting. 

Pollination is a biotayarns© blend, available only at Dakota Carding & Wool Co.

Spinners accustomed to commercial combed top, which can be dense and require significant predrafting, will likely find this carded preparation easy to spin. Carded cloud is made by feeding washed wool (and other fibers) into a carding mill that opens up the locks, removes vegetable matter and passes it through several carding rollers that card/comb the fibers but does not align the fibers parallel as in combed top. The wool you spin directly from this cloud will make a beautiful woolen yarn the same as is spun from wool roving or batts.
All animal fibers contained in this blend are sustainably raised by local shepherds, washed with mild, eco friendly soap and carded into a beautiful carded cloud at Dakota Carding & Wool Co.
