New Fiber

Yes, another new fiber! Scottish Blackface.

Scottish Blackface: This is an ancient breed originating from the English/Scottish border in the UK. Today it is the single most common sheep in the UK. This is what is known as “short type” Scottish Blackface, which means it is on the softer end of the breed. The wool itself is remarkably soft, though as an ancient breed there is a significant amount of kemp in the wool (adding to the heathered appearance) which reduces the softness somewhat. Non-scratchy. Good for outerwear, or next to skin if your criteria is more “not scratchy” than “soft.” This particular batch comes from a local farmer.

This will be the last update before Rhinebeck.

There is one slot left in the Mythic Fiber Club

And now, gratuitous dog. Mokey and Gobo playing fetch with apples. om nom.

That’s all for now!
