TAMING OF THE SHREW Fiber Art Cloud Blend - 4 ounces (WAFA)

A soft hand-picked cloud of Alpaca and recycled fibers for creating art batts, rolags, and blends to spin into yarn for knitting, weaving, crochet, felting, and fiber art. I have run this fiber thru a wool picker to blend it into "wool cloud". All of my Shakespeare inspired blends have a 40-60% base of naturally colored soft alpaca.

You can spin this fiber straight from the bag into a chunky textured yarn, or blend it with your wool of chice on a drum carder or blending board for a larger project. A little can go a long way! Each bag is subtly different due to the size of the texture and nuance in the dyed bits.

In this handcrafted LIMITED EDITION blend you'll find:

• ALPACA: Locally grown and natural colored. 
• WOOL: Locks, Fibers, Roving Bits, Threads
• COTTON: hand dyed cotton nepps
• ANGELINA: a generous amount of sparkle
• RECYCLED: novelty ribbons and recycled threads

A tiny amount of vm may be present in some of the alpaca locks, which will fall out when carding. Every bag has subtle differences due to the nature of the dyeing and blending process of these fibers.
