I chose this wool

I chose this wool, because I've used this Blueface Leicester Humbug
many years ago, and thought it would be an ideal Christmas present to a very dear friend of mine. She does not spin and buys commercial wool
which usually contains acrylic, and it is never as soft as 100% wool.
I only hope I've left enough time to spin the tops before Christmas.
