Southdown/Shetland/Silk

This is a PortFiber exclusive - a special top blend of our own making!  60% British Southdown, 20% British Shetland, and 20% tussah silk makes for a great spin for socks, mittens, hats, and everyday sweaters.  Southdown brings softness and bounce and the natural brown Shetland adds a that variegated look.  Neither of these wools has a ton of luster, which is where the silk comes in!  Expect a staple length of 2-4 inches and a micron count between 28 and 31.  This fiber is not super ideal for wet felting.
