Corriedale Spinning Fibre
Couldn't load pickup availability
Corriedale is a cross between English Leicester or Lincoln and Merino, so you’ll see characteristics like softness and crimp mixed with medium-long staple and toughness. These characteristics make it well-suited to worsted or semi-worsted spinning, but this fibre can also be easily spun into a woollen yarn.
Our Corriedale fibre has not been treated to be machine-washable and can most definitely be used for wet- or needle-felting. When you are finishing your yarns and projects, be sure to wash them gently and lay them flat to dry for the best results.
The Corriedale fleece is a medium wool with a good crimp, a soft handle, and is very easy to spin. The wool produced is approximately 25-30 microns with a staple length of 80 - 120 mm. Corriedale originates from New Zealand. Perfect for hand spinning, hand felting and many other craft uses.

Customer Reviews
Loving this corriedale! The colors are rich and blend beautifully. I've already spun up both "salted caramel" and "stormchaser" and the resulting yarn is next-to-skin ok for me.
One note - the braids are VERY tightly compacted and impossible to spin without careful pre-fluffing - but after I went down the length of the roving and carefully teased all the fibers apart, spinning was a breeze.
While shipping took a bit longer than expected, the fiber is easy to spin and colors are beautiful!
