Micron 38-40, Staple length approx. 17.5cm (7ins).  Grown sustainably on happy sheep in Idaho, USA Ideas for Use: Separate into individual groups of color and spin long-patterned yarn! Spinning - Open the fibre out and spin a soft single thread. Ply with a fine cotton, silk or commercial woolen thread to strengthen the yarn for knitting. The fine thread will be almost hidden in the yarn and won't obscure the fabulous colors. Weaving - Use the beautiful shiny staples for extra texture in handwoven fabrics. Hand-knot the staples into beautiful rugs or wall hangings. Felting - Use the colored staples as surface decoration. They look fantastic lightly felted into the surface of a natural color felt. *The sheep are we
