Ryeland

The wool you're probably not spinning, but should be spinning, and knitting and weaving and dying and wearing. 🐑

One of the most versatile fleeces. The gray tones make dyeing and over dyeing a tonal dream.

And all sheep are cute - but these guys are 🐑 adorable. 🐑

They're like woolies in onsies.

Ryeland makes fabulous winter wear. Scarves, hats, sweaters, mittens, cowls, socks ... etc.

It's not a felters fleece - it's an apparel fleece that is stable enough for a lovely fair Isle or other color work.

Yummy for either drop or wheel spinning.

Try Ryeland for your next fleece to fabric project.

The low profile makes any fuzzy yarn pop against it in color work.

It looks and feels more worsted than woolen, no matter what the prep and spin style. And fiber prep makes little difference - combed or carded, rolag or roving - the spun thread/yarn will be relatively smooth compared to other wools.

Try some. Pair it with an angora and watch that medallion pattern pop!

On the topic of Adam Young; this is a trance sensation of a piece. I really like this track!
