Tweedy Merino/Bamboo Top with Neps for Hand Spinning - 'Isabella' beads or for plyingA 100g gram braid of a luxurious blend of merino wool, blended fine wool, bamboo fibre and viscose nepps (33% merino 27% fine wool blend 33% bamboo 7% viscose nepps). A lovely soft and slightly streaky mix, which will spin up to give a well bodied, yet lustrous yarn, with a tweedy effect from the neps. Would also needle felt or wet felt beautifully. The fibre was dyed with random mixtures and applications of colour, so the colourway is unrepeatable
