Spinning fiber (Top) – White Corriedale natural Sliver

White Corriedale natural Sliver Top of 30 microns available in 100 gr bags.

Corriedale wool has a defined, even crimp and is smooth and easy to spin or felt. You can spin a fine to medium woollen, worsted or semi-worsted yarn. Corriedale will bulk after washing and has good elasticity. It is ideal for baby  wear, woven, knitted or crocheted garments, and is very popular for needle felting projects.

Ashford Corriedale sliver is a 100% New Zealand product with wool from pasture-fed sheep. Ashford has long standing relationships with many of the farmers – some of whom have farmed the land for generations. They take great pride in the quality of their wool and the high standard of animal husbandry. The sheep are well cared for and are not mulesed.

After the sheep are shorn, on the farm, the wool is carefully skirted and checked. Only wool that is sound, clean with good fibre length, bulk and colour is selected. It is sent to Ashford`s own Milton Wool Mill in New Zealand mill to be carded and combed.

To prepare your fibers properly, don't forget the soaps and products that help with preparation. We've written a blog post on one such product, Synthrapol, which will become an essential ally.
