Flora - nope not a flower ;)


This is Flora's wool

Flora is a sheep.
She's a Finn/Border Leicester/ English Leicester/ Corriedale.
She's four years old and belongs to Jane at Moseley Park.
Flora wears a coat to keep her fleece nice and clean.

Flora's fleece was this months natural fiber club package.




I used a worsted draw to create this yarn.
I plied Flora back on itself to make a 2 ply yarn.
It has 10 Wraps per and inch making it a light Worsted weight yarn.
There are 286 meters of this yarn.


The photos don't do this yarn justice.
It has a lovely sheen to it.
It's very soft and has bloomed up beautifully after it's wash.
