Cotswold Yarn is one of the most lustrous and strong fibers of all the Longwool breeds, but the young lambs first clip is much softer, and that is what is in this lustrous, textured yarn. An extremely small batch, this second spin is uneven and has some slubs. Fabulous texture, but need to design for it. Love it for a painted warp and works well in knitted lace.

more natural dyed colors will arrive mid fall 2019
