Thank you! I usually hate knitting hats but the colour is what kind of kept me going 🥹

Oooh, that sounds cool! I was wondering if I should separate mine, but I have currently only have a drumcarder and I find there’s so much more thel (inner coat) than tog (outer coat) fibres

I haven’t! It’s a pretty fibre, but I am very nervous I’ll mess it up somehow. The dream is to spin it as a lopi single!

Oh btw! This is pre soak! I’m currently drying it right now, but I was soooo excited to show it off. It’s maybe the finest and softest thing I’ve spun yet

I think ideally, I'd like something loftier, but I generally stay away if I have other stuff to spin in the queue, in fear that my storage and transport of said fibre would ruin the loft. I think having a nice box (re-used box, nothing fancy) to protect the roving would change my mind though!

gosh, you're so lucky! These look so lovely and dark. Good luck with processing both, it looks like a treat!

oh my god, this is like my dream fleece! I keep trying to find fleece that dark and lustrous like this, but no dice. What a great find and amazing pictures as usual (:
