Fibers 'n' Creations is offering about 2 oz.of their own washed ClunX fiber, Picture coming soon. Clun Forest is a down like breed, that is not well know by the fiber community which is very unfortunate. It is a fleece that is relatively easy to wash as it doesn't readily felt! Spinning is a dream- it is very springy. It makes wonderful socks and of course can be machine washed as the fleece doesn't wet felt. Also makes lovely lace weight yarn. Ply Spring 2017 has some excellent articles about the breed and fiber. My Enid's fleece although a cross with Border Leicester took first in her class at The Finger Lakes Fiber Festival, 2017, Hemlock NY. |
