Caribbean Blue - carded wool for handspinning and felting, spin yarn


$26.00

Caribbean Blue is a deep-sea-turquoise blue with dark greens, flashes of neon yellow, silk noile and a little glitz make this blend a stunning catch!

You are purchasing a 4 ounce carded bag of fiber that is easy to hand spin and creates a fantastic, colorful handspun yarn. 

Biotayarns blends vibrantly dyed fibers designed especially for creativity in spinning and felting projects. 100% made in the USA from homegrown, hand washed, dyed, blended and fully carded Bluefaced Leicester, Border Leicester wool and Alpaca. This blend has firestar added for extra sparkle.
Spinners accustomed to commercial combed top, which can be dense and require significant predrafting, will likely find this carded preparation easy to spin. Biotayarns Spinner's Web 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 the fibers but does not align the fibers parallel as in combed top. The fibers exit the carding mill off the last drum in a thin web which is packaged into bags looking like cotton candy.  The wool you spin directly from this cloud will make a beautiful woolen yarn the same as is spun from wool roving or batts. 

The animals whose fibers are in this blend were raised by shepherd's dedicated to the fiber arts and to their fiber animals. At Dakota Carding & Wool we pasture raise our sheep and goats and maintain a non medicated, healthy environment for our four-legged friends. All of the fibers have been carefully sheared, washed, dyed and carded using ecologically safe soaps and dyes.
