A minimally blended top that showcases the beauty of two contrasting shades of natural 23-micron merino wool top. This white and grey blend produces a unique barber pole effect in a finished yarn that is reminiscent of candy swirls. This fiber is suitable for dyeing, hand spinning, felting, knitting, crocheting, and weaving. The next-to-skin soft wool has excellent tensile strength and wonderful moisture-wicking and temperature regulating properties desired to make garments that last.Â
