80% Cotswold 20% Alpaca

250m/100g

3 ply Sport.

Rasta is a Cotswold (or cross) that we adopted in the spring of 2024. She came to us with 3 years of fleece growth that was dirty and matted. Her eyes were covered and she frequently tripped on her long matted locks. She was shorn in late spring, however that fleece was completely unusable, due to matting and dirt, but also due to an infestation of keds (bloodsucking flies). Because she's a longwool, by October she had already grown 4 inches of fleece, and we had her shorn. This yarn is the result of that shearing.

Made with 20% alpaca for added softness to the sturdy Cotswold fibers in a moody charcoal grey color, this yarn will be great for socks or other projects requiring long lasting and strong fibre.
