Pollinator 16 oz - long wools + fine wools - it's all about hand spinning yarn

Biotayarns' Pollinator blend 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.

This is sixteen ounces of biotayarns© carded wool blend; approximately 15 ounces without firestar and one ounce with firestar, available only at Dakota Carding & Wool Co.

100% made in the USA from homegrown, hand washed, dyed, blended and carded wool and alpaca fibers:

• 50 percent Border Leicester
• 20 percent Cormo x Polypay
• 10 percent Alpaca
• 10 percent CVM x Merino
• a small portion has firestar
• 10 percent BFL

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.
