Best Uses
This fleece asks a little more of you, and it's a great pick if you enjoy the prep. Comb the locks and blend them with other fibers, use the curls for felting, or spin a textured yarn for woven wall hangings, baskets and other decorative projects where a little hay won't matter. The bright white takes dye beautifully too.

Working Notes
Plan on combing or picking before you spin, since there's still hay in the locks. Cotswold has a long staple, so it drafts smoothly and doesn't need much twist. Once it's prepped, it spins into a strong, shiny yarn with lovely drape.
