Icelandic Wool Combed Top 4 or 8oz Undyed Bare Top Roving Wool for Spinning Dyeing Handspinning Fiber Humbug Black White Primitive

from $12.99
Priced and sold by 4 or 8 oz quantities.

This is a striking blend of natural fibers in their natural colors. 100% Icelandic Wool

Icelandic sheep are a hardy breed of sheep that have a dual coat. The dual coat has longer coarse outer hairs that protect from snow and rain and the shorter insulating hair provides warmth. It is thought that the sheep were introduced to Iceland by Vikings in the late ninth or early tenth century. The colors of Icelandic sheep are inherited in a similar way to those of other sheep, but they display more variety in color and pattern than most other breeds, and some variations are seen which are not seen in other sheep.

This would be quite a striking blend to dye. The natural white fibers will take the dye color up clearly, but there will be muting of the color dyeing over the gray fibers, and contrast with the stark black wool.

Note the picture that shows the long staple length. Icelandic is not a low micron count wool. It is a bit more coarse.

I store this and all my fibers carefully in my smoke free, pet free store. This is in stock and ships very quickly.
