Ok, you know, there really aren’t words

for how beautiful this is. And I DYED IT!!!

Carding it with the handcards has really improved the look of the yarn. It blends the colors a bit, making the colors appear more complex which better compliments the other wolf yarn I’m combining this with.

So to restate, this is my kid mohair fleece that I dyed, hand picked and lightly carded on my handcards, and have spun into wolf yarn to go into a sweater with the other wolf yarn I spun from mohair bought at the Black Sheep Gathering in June. This fleece is SO soft, that my other incredibly soft wolf yarn doesn’t even feel soft anymore.

I’m really excited to be putting my own dyed yarn into this sweater. (That I still have to design. Any ideas?).
