Heathered Indigo - Biotayarns Spinner's Web - natural colored gray wool & indigo plant dyed wool, carded blend for handspinning

***Currently out of stock****

Heathered Indigo is a unique carded preparation for hand spinning or felting. All colors in this blend are natural colors derived from indigo plant dye & gray wool.
This listing is 4 ounces of carded blue & gray tones with textures and character.
This blend will produce a lofty, durable woolen yarn and/or beautiful felted fabric.

This current batch of Heathered Indigo is BFL wool locks raised here at Dakota Carding and wool farm and dyed using natural indigo plant dye. These beautiful blue locks are then hand blended and carded together with a natural grey Cormo wool fleece raised Wyoming by a shepherd friend with a healthy flock of Cormo sheep growing long and soft Cormo wool.

Our carding mill opens up the locks and cards the fibers into a fluffy cloud which will spin a lofty woolen yarn. This preparation works well for felting also.
Spinners accustomed to commercial combed top, which can be dense and require significant predrafting, will likely find this carded preparation easier to spin. The fibers are processed gently to help retain the unique characteristics of each fiber.

Long healthy locks sustainably raised.

Thank you for looking.
