Black Wensleydale

This month's fiber from the Fiber Binder Club is Black Wensleydale.  The locks are long like dread-locks but soft and they hand carded very easily.

 I spun a two ply, fingering weight yarn using the fastest whorl on my Ashford Traveler wheel.  (11:1)

 Here is my little skein measuring out to 29 yards .

 I knit up my sample swatch and attached it to it's info page.

 I was surprised at how soft this fiber turned out.  I was sure it would be coarser when I saw the locks but it is a nice yarn for mittens or socks in my opinion!
