Sample #30
Fiber:  Wool
Weight of Skein:  28 grams

Appl: #1600203
Type: Romney Hogget dyed batts
Length: 58 Yards

Spinning Equipment Used: Scotch Break Flyer Wheel, Ratio 15:1|
Direction of Twist:  S
# of Plies: 1
Finishing:  The yarn was washed, blocked and steam set.
Technique:  The yarn was spun in a worsted long draw direct from the open roving.
Uses:  This soft single could be knitted, crocheted or woven into sweaters or jackets.  It is strong enough to use as warp, yet soft and elastic. I would use it for weaving blankets.


Preparation for Spinning:   The batts were sorted by color and pulled into roving.

Reason for choice of this sample:  These batts were gifted to me from the girl who started me spinning.  The batts were very well prepared from excellent fleece, and beautifully dyed.
