These yarns are spun from my hand combed pure Wensleydale tops giving a lovely worsted yarn that is very suitable to weave with. These yarns are about 4 ply and very strong but soft. They look like silk and I am going to use them to make scarves. Small quantities for my rigid heddle loom. Spinning with my hand combed tops is a joy. Fast and easy, just keep your hands well apart because of the long fibres and use a short draw.
Suitable to spin into a very fine yarn and of course there is nothing to stop you knitting with them
