Corriedale Sliver - Natural

Add to Wishlist

Natural is so beautiful.

Micron 27-30, Staple length approx. 11cm (4¼ins).

Corriedale wool has a defined, even crimp and is smooth and easy to spin or felt. You can spin a fine to medium woollen, worsted or semi-worsted yarn. Corriedale will bulk after washing and has good elasticity. It is ideal for baby wear, woven, knitted, crocheted or felted garments.

Can I dye it? Absolutely. Natural white Corriedale is perfect for dyeing. Some spinners dye the sliver before spinning for variegated yarn, and others dye their finished skeins. It's all part of the fun.

Ashford Corriedale sliver is 100% pure New Zealand wool, grown on South Island farms where the sheep graze on large grassy paddocks and are free from mulesing. Only wool with good length, free from breaks, with high bulk, brightness and low vegetable matter is selected.

It is scoured (washed) using an environmentally-friendly, biodegradable detergent, then dyed using ecologically safe, Oeko-Tex compliant dyes (detailed information can be found at www.oeko-tex.com). It is then carded, gilled and combed, ready to use with no waste or preparation required.

Ashford Corriedale sliver is available natural or dyed. 1kg or 100g amounts.
