mocha medley #6

Approx 100g/3.5 oz batt

hand processed wool blended with a selection of hand-dyed, undyed and recycled natural fibers

the blend:

70% romney wool from Mocha

15% hand dyed targhee (Wee Chickadee)

10% hand dyed merino (Hello Yarn)

5% hand dyed gray merino/silk (Alexandra the Art of Yarn)

+ a small dash of hand dyed tussah silk (Desert Panda Fiber Arts)

*A small amount of lanolin, vegetable matter and texture may be present in this batt. I did my best to remove as much lanolin as possible, but Mocha was one greasy gal. The vegetable matter should fall out while spinning or be easily picked out. 

The light lanolin content did not make spinning more difficult for me during my test spins of Mocha’s fleece. After a longer spinning session, I found that my fingertips were slightly tacky, but not greasy. Any residual lanolin will wash out when wet finishing your yarn in a warm bath.

fiber sources:

Pitchfork Ranch, Wee Chickadee Wool Co, Hello Yarn, Alexandra the Art of Yarn, and Desert Panda Fiber Arts

care instructions for spun & knitted fiber:

cat disclaimer:
