In November last year, I met a lovely lady, Anne Arnold, at the Dumfries and Galloway Spinners, Weavers and Dyers Guild Gathering. I loved this picture and asked Anne if I could use this as an inspiration picture for some rolags. She graciously told me that I could.
I call this colourway Wild and Woolly, because the day I got this needle felted picture was so wet, wild and woolly! In fact when driving back to Cumbria, at one point I had to pull over because I could not see the road, the rain was so heavy.
These rolags are made from Exmoor Blueface (a cross between Exmoor horn sheep and BFL), corridale, masham and merino. I would class this blend as 'medium'. I could not wear this blend around my neck, but I would be very happy to wear it as a hat or gloves.
All of these fibres will felt, if you do not wish them to, hand wash in cool water.
