Custom-Spun Corriedale-cross Yarn
It was with great jubilation I opened a box from A&B Fiberworks this week! The last 2 fleeces from Val at Wooly Wool of The West arrived, processed and custom spun! It's a lovely soft 3-ply yarn, worsted weight and about 200 yds per skein. The fleeces were from 2 year olds and I was very pleased that they weren't terribly full of veg either! The fleeces were crimpy and full of life and Anne did such a great job capturing that in this yarn! It has a very pleasant hand and isn't scratchy at all. It will make fabulous Aran sweaters or mitts or touques! I posted it in my Etsy Shop and made my own labels for it. And if Aran isn't your thing, I know it takes dye well too! Some lucky commenter will win a skein in my blogoversary draw on Friday, so make sure you've left a comment to be entered, OK?

That is beautiful yarn. I am hoping that some will be left next week when I get paid. Of course, with 9 pages of tempting goodies at your Etsy store, I had better pay the bills before going shopping there.

It's very pretty. Wish I could feel it.

Oh wow, let the lucky winner be me! This looks so gorgeous! I'm on a fiber/yarn/pattern buying diet this year, or I would have run over to your Etsy store and bought some.
