Falkland Combed Top
Falkland Combed Top
Falkland is my new favorite wool for its softness, versatility and because it is virtually chemical-free. The harsh climate where the sheep grows makes it very difficult for insects to live. This is not an actual breed, but it's usually a cross between Corriedale, Polwarth and Dohne Merino. It gets its name after the Falkland Islands, located in the Southern Atlantic Ocean. The staple has an average length between 4 to 6 inches. It has a nice grip which makes it very easy to spin for those that are beginners. I would recommend it for next to skin garments. This fiber will felt.

Falkland Wool
All my fiber comes from a smoke-free, pet-free environment.
I used to store my fibers with lavender sachets, but I don't anymore as I have learned that moths hate disturbances and some people are allergic to lavender. Now I dust and clean more frequently and move things around but I still include a lavender sachet with each order, unless someone requests me not to. If you don't want the lavender because you are allergic or for some other reason, let me know in the comment section, or send me a message.
I do my best to get pictures from different angles to capture and show the beauty of the color combinations. Remember that your monitor may show colors differently than mine. I'm always open to questions.
The lighting for the photos makes the colors a little brighter than they do in person, so expect the colors one or two shades darker.
