Took a little break from spinning wool, my hands were starting to hurt.
OMG I love Cotsy's wool!! :D But... the more I play with it, the more I work with it, the more I clean it and have my hands all in, out, around and through it...
...I am begining to think he's not predominantly cotswold after all.
Perhaps he is icelandic instead. His fleece is light-grease with a duel fiber coat; the inner fiber is a very fine, almost-hair wool. And it is, over-all, the most springy, most light and open wool I've ever touched.
The thel is down like, springy, lustrous and soft. The longer tog coat is similar to mohair, wavy or corkscrewed rather than crimped and is wonderful in worsted spinning. At present this wool is not suited for the industrial market in North America, both because of how rare it is and also because of its unique nature.
I keep looking at my spinning and I find that it reminds me of Lopi -- more like Lite Lopi, as I tend to spin on the thin side... or even 'Lite-lite Lopi'.... (And, yes, I know a wool yarn -- I used to gawk at the yarn pr0n magazine I subscribed to when I was little :P )
