You are in for a treat. If you haven’t used handspun yarn this is the cream of the crop in its natural color. I would consider this a sport weight yarn at 12 wpi. All of these skeins are 200 yds and approximately 3 oz. If you are looking for a woolen handspun yarn this is so nice and squishy! Perfect for your close to the skin garments.
Baxter the Rambouillet/Icelandic sheep delivered the fleece that is nice and bouncy giving you a nice springy yarn. There is enough angora from Brillig to notice in the blend. This blend is such a nice combination. This wool has enough of its own elasticity that even over time when annually given a refresh you will not see any growing. Because of the bunny there may be some more blooming, but that will be the fun of it. When considering a pattern this yarn will tend toward more hug, not drape.
As a fiber farmer, crazy creator I cannot spin fast so I love to be able to do a bit of fair trading for a handspun yarn. It is expertly spun from a fair trade exchange, and I could not be more pleased with the results.
I tend to knit an angora blend with a bit more space on a bigger needle. Angora likes freedom to bloom. There is a slight variation in the weight of these skeins. I would not be afraid of putting any of these together, but when you order and given the option I will put skeins with the same weights together or closest together.
