Don't know I would use the term "top notch" Dubbn, after all it is out of an oddment bin at a woollen mill and most of it made it in there because the yarn separated one too many times under the tension of the weaving looms.
A lot of it is designed to be used in high end fashion garments. There are a lot of Merino fine wool dresses and suits out there now and wool is no longer the domain of jumpers your Grandma used to knit. In order to compete with the World of synthetic clothing, the Wool mills and designers have had to develop new finer yarns for weaving rather than traditional knitting.
For us as tiers, this is good. It means I can lay my hands on some fun cheap materials which are of more use than just chopping to blend into dubbing mixes and can be wound as simple yarn bodies to suit say #8-14 hook sizes. Bulkier than gossamer silk, yes, but they do bring other dimensions to the table silk doesn't.
Anyone who has a particular shade or colour they might like to try, drop me a line and we shall see what we can do. Some of you have had "selections" before and some of you will just (hopefully) be unpacking some you may have selected from the "box" at Roscoe, but there is plenty to be shared around...... I just do not have Oyster..... or any referred to as 477!
