Washed Wool #036 - Cotswold

This is a washed Cotswold fleece in bright white, packed with long, flowing curls, a few warm golden tips and some hay still in the mix.

Details:
Breed: Cotswold
Color: White
Weight: 3 lb 4 oz
Prep: Washed fleece
VM Level: Heavy
Feel: Smooth and glossy, with long, loose curls

Best Uses
This is a fleece for makers who enjoy the prep work. Comb out the curls and blend them into other fibers, felt with them, or spin a chunky, textured yarn for woven wall hangings, baskets and decorative projects where a few bits of hay won't show. With over 3 pounds, you'll have plenty to work with.

Working Notes
Expect to comb or pick before spinning, since there's still hay hiding in the curls. Cotswold's long locks draft easily and need very little twist. After prep, it spins into a strong, lustrous yarn with nice drape, and the white is a blank canvas for dye.
