Lambgora,
*exotic fiber
by Orkney Angora,
made in Scotland
|
|
One of the finest wool in the world is grown in Australia and Scotland. Orkney Angora's lambswool-angora blend combines the finest qualities of two woollens blended together: the super warmth and exceptioanl softness of angora and the strength of the finest Scottish lambswool (18.5 micron). The yarn is mill spun, ultra soft, hand dyed in 35 solid colours and suitable for hand and machine knitting, as well as for felting.
* Lambswool or Lamb's Wool: technically, it is the first shearing of a sheep, the most softest sheep wool.
Wash a garment with eucalyptus wash or any other woolwash "no rinse", and dry flat pulling the garment into correct shape, away from direct heat and sunshine. Do not wring out the garment - roll it in a towel and gently press to remove excess water. The yarn dries quickly as all worsted types of wool. Do not iron. * Never hang an angora knitwear on a hanger, it will stretch the shape
* Notes: 1) as this yarn is dyed by hand in small batches, a tone-on-tone colour variation on the thread may occur; 2) there may be slight flaws in the colour at the first wash, this is natural for commercial dyes on natural fibers; 3) only balls of the same dyelot are supplied per order.
