Beautiful colour and beautiful to spin…only tried a test sample for now but wondering whether it

Beautiful colour and beautiful to spin…only tried a test sample for now but wondering whether it is pure Gotland as feels and spins more ”woolly” and less ”hairy” and slippery like other Gotland tops I’ve used…gorgeous though and will go well with BFL I also ordered.

Blue faced Leicester

I have been using. Wingham wool for many years now, and have always been satisfied. I chose the blue face Leicester for a needle felted hare which I haven't started yet. I'm just upset that wingham wool has moved . I used to order and pick up my wool.
