OSW: Sherwood Forest Farm Wensleydale/BFL/Shetland Cross

FOUR SKEINS—$240

Description: Ultra shiny 2-ply light fingering-weight yarn with incredible drape. The long-wool sheep genetics dominate this wool. It has very little bounce and little-to-no bloom with washing, so it’s best suited to open lacework or tighter gauge. It isn’t itchy or scratchy but also isn’t exactly soft – it feels more like plant fiber than wool. Undyed, naturally bright white. We purchased this beautiful fleece at the Ann Arbor Fiber Expo in Spring 2022.
