Best Uses
This one is a nice middle ground, with a little nature still tucked in. Give it a quick pick or flick, and it's ready to spin into a squishy everyday yarn, card into batts or blend with other fibers. The bright white makes it a great one to dye, and at 10 oz it's a nice size for trying out a cross you haven't spun before.

Working Notes
Cheviot brings bounce and loft, and Border Leicester adds length and a touch of shine. Pick out the bits of hay as you go, then card or flick before spinning. It drafts easily and makes a springy, durable yarn that holds up well to wear.
