Selecting the right hand spinning fiber is the most important step in creating a functional yarn. For those seeking elasticity and softness, merino spinning fiber is the gold standard for next-to-skin garments. If you need more durability and a beautiful luster, BFL (Blue Faced Leicester) spinning fiber is a favorite among hand spinners for its long staple length and ease of drafting. We also carry a wide range of Corriedale and Superwash wools, excellent for both spinning and needle felting projects.
