...the Grey Beyond!

I was very narrow in my focus on fleece shopping this past spring...   soft and different! I ended up with finn and finn x's, a couple merino x's (one is merino x romney), and lots of alpaca as usual......  and perendale lamb fleeces as well!



Here's a my expert fleece skirting assistant - Baelii...  loving on one of the finn fleeces as I was re-skirting it in the living room.


And below is one of the grey fleeces.... LOVE natural greys!



The sun bleached tips are creamy, but the fleece beneath was a deep charcoal...  This is one of the finn, finn x, or merino x fleeces in the mix, which also included perendale lamb.. and only a tiny bit of grey alpaca fleece. The mill turned it into GORGEOUS squooooooshy easy to spin roving listed in the shop here









These are the first yarns I made with it...  the left is plied with a braid of my hand dyed bfl top, the right top is plied with a chalk dust batt.


Next post:  the white and fawn roving!
