Ashford’s Merino Wool Top is soft and perfect for spinning into a fine woollen yarn using the long draw or a worsted yarn using a short draw. It’s best used for fine knitting, crochet or lacework and comes from New Zealand where they take great care of their sheep and the quality of their wool. After the sheep are shorn, it’s sent to a boutique mill where it’s dyed, carded, and combed.
