Oero Hand Spun Jacob Yarn


The last of the fiber from this sheep.  I used the chocolate brown fiber to make Oreo a lovely dark brown yarn with white flecks and now I have used the white fiber to spin this and so got a mirror image of the first yarn white with chocolate flecks.  The skeins are a lovely white with brown flecks and are very soft for Jacob yarn.  The fleece comes from a ram belonging to a friend who lives in Mohill Co. Leitrim.  The ram now enjoys the name of Oreo after the yarn that I originally named.
